Do you add aquarium salt every time you add fish?

The only time salt should be added to a freshwater tank is if there is a specific need for it. (As a medication) Freshwater means just that. NO SALT!!. Keep adding salt and all your fish will die. My advice is when you are doing the next weekly 50% water change that all aquaria need, do not add any salt and then each time you do a water change the water will become less and less salty until you have good fresh water and healthy fish and plants again.
