When there is explanation about discus health treatment which requires “add salt to water”, how much salt to water should I add?
Reply:
Salt is very useful to control certain bacteria and parasites.
When the fish is stress or not feeling well you can add salt to the water.
Dosage for the treatment is a very critical thing. One must have seen the fish, how serious or how bad the conditions then only he can decide on how
much the dosage to apply.
We have to follow trail and error method to gain experience. We always start from the low dosage and slowly increase.
For 100 liters of water, you can add salt 1 to 5 tablespoons.

Hi, i would like to know which type of salt to add in my discus hospital tank and what is its use. Thanks
Salt is Sodium Chloride. You can use rock salt or natural salt. Avoid salt that has flavorings, which are use for cooking.
