Aquarium conditioning salt at a level of about 0.20% is safe for your betta, so you can immediately put your fish back in the tank. If you think you may have put too much salt in, use a salinity test to check your tank and make adjustments if necessary before putting your betta back in.

They should be ok anytime as long as the temperature is fine. place them in a plastic bag with plenty of water in it and place the bag in the water for at least 15 minuets so the temperature of both are roughly the same then let them go. If you just place them into the water without adjusting their temperature the shock could kill them.

Firstly, ensure that you are using aquarium salt (or epsom salt) if this is a freshwater tank. You can use salt to treat diseases, or as a de-stress; the directions for amounts are normally found on the side of the carton of aquarium salt.

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.
