If you are using salt to help treat an illness, then you will need aquarium salt or epsom salt; if it's for a saltwater tank, then it's marine salt.
In either case, never use table salt as the iodine will kill your fish
Fish that can be a meal for the frog.
Yes, granite rock can be used in fish tanks as aquarium decorations or as part of the tank's substrate. However, it is important to ensure that the granite is aquarium-safe and has been properly cleaned to remove any potential toxins or pollutants that could harm the fish. Monitoring the water quality regularly is also recommended when using granite in a fish tank.

Freshwater puffer fish are known to be aggressive towards other fish, so they are best kept in a species-only tank. Attempting to house them with other fish can lead to potential fin nipping and aggression towards tank mates. It is recommended to keep freshwater puffer fish in a species-specific setup to ensure their well-being.
Animals that eat anchovies include larger fish, seabirds like pelicans and seagulls, marine mammals such as dolphins and seals, and larger predators like sharks. These animals rely on anchovies as a food source in their natural habitats.
You don't have to, but a small amount of salt for freshwater tanks acts as a soothing 'tonic' for freshwater fish. Follow instructions on the package.
depends on the FISH. if they saltwater fish, then you put salt water in the aquarium, same thing for the freshwater fish. if you dont know what kind of fish it is, look it up.
No.
Some fish live in salt water because they just do. Some fish live in water because they were put in water. If you get a fish at home you can put it in salt or water. It also depends on there skin because the fish can have very sensitive skin and can only touch a certain kind of water
None at all. You'll find the fw hobbyists highly divided on this topic though. I do not use salt in any of my freshwater tanks at all.
Check with the people who sold you the tank and or fish; they may have some ideas. You can't put fish right into water from the tap; if you did that it probably accounts for their discomfort. You need to condition the water to remove the chlorine. Tanks also need to be at the right temperature, and adding fish to tanks that are are a different temperature from their travel bags is really a shock to them. There are various conditioners you can get. There is also a special salt (yes, salt) that you can put into fresh water tanks; the salt is calming to the fish. Naturally, you put in only the amount given in the instructions. The people at the store may recommend some medications to add if there are symptoms that you can describe to them. Don't be discouraged; new tanks need to be conditioned over time, and they need to contain some healthy bacteria that will develop over time as well.
no. they live in mud.
Enough salt and it will kill the fish
Salt Water Fish
Zebra Danios can handle a small amount of salt in their water but it is not a smart thing to have in your fresh water tank. The reason for this is, salt can be used as a medication for some fish ailments. If there is salt already in the water, in order to dose the fish you will have to put in a measured/correct amount of salt thereby overdosing the tank and maybe killing the fish.
To the best of my knowledge there should be sufficient iodine in the sea salt you use to make the sea water without adding more.
they put them in their fish tanks and admire them
