How can salt be used effectively as treatment of fish?

Whether or not you should even think of using salt in an aquarium is dependent on the type of fish you keep in it. guppies, for example, do well with the manufacturer recommended dose of aquarium salt. Gold fish, on the other hand, need little or no aquarium salt. while appropriate salt levels will encourage good health, aquarium salt shouldn't necessarily be used to treat fish diseases. it might help, but that depends entirely on the problem. Also, the right type of salt to use depends on your aquarium. a marine aquarium requires special salt and readings on the specific gravity of the water. freshwater and brackish fish are more likely to require simple aquarium salt. Either way, we aren't talking about table salt here. go to the pet store and get something designed to be healthy for your aquatic pets.
