Aquarium salt, not sea salt. Make sure it is freshwater salt, not marine salt or iodized. Salt in fresh water tanks can reduce stress and help in healing. Many types of fish including the live bearers and gold fish greatly benefit from it , helping to promote reproducing.

How hard is it to maintain a Salt Water fish tank?
Personally, I think fresh water is easier because a salt water tank means that you need to purchase aquarium salt, and you need to add it to every water change. I have never raised a saltwater aquarium, but I believe you also have to measure the amount of salt the fish need. So if you're a first-timer, go for the fresh water tank. But the good thing about saltwater tanks is that it is more diverse and colorful.
Can fresh-water fish live without a fresh-water tank?
A tank is just a box made out of glass. You could put either salt water or fresh water into this box with the appropriate filter media. No, fresh water fish cannot survive in salt water, but it doesn't matter what kind of tank (box) they are put in. note: most fresh water fish like a little bit of salt in their water. It improves their gill function and gives them needed electrolytes. However, this is only a small amount (1 tablespoon per 5 us gallons), so don't overdo it.
