Salt curing ick is like back in the days of 'strapping' when a person was punished with 20 lashes, then they threw a bucket of salt water on the open wounds!!! If it didn't kill em- it cured em!
Unless you are dealing with fish that are suppose to be in 'brackish water', don't use this. It is so much easier to just raise the temp up over 82 and hold it there for more than 2 weeks....
If after several days the salt specks don't disappear, and the fish start acting more lively, you need to get an approved ick medication, and follow directions. Many medications have to be used 1/2 strength on scaleless fish, or tetras. Many also cannot be used on shrimp or snails...
