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.

What is aquarium salt?

Aquarium salt is mixed with water before being added to a saltwater tank to create the correct environment for marine animals. The appropriate specific gravity(a method used to measure the salt concentration) is about 1.023-01.025. You can buy a meter at your local petsmart etc. The most common name in salt mixes for aquariums is Instant Ocean. You MUST mix salt correctly in order to run a saltwater tank. If you do not add salt to the water or do not add it in the correct amount, you will lose your tank's inhabitants.
