Re: salt in the water

I usually only add salt when needed for an injury or illness. Some folks swear by its use regularly, and others think that adding salt on a regular basis is not good because it's not normal for most freshwater fish to have salt in the water all the time. I think it's just personal preference.

Re: salt in the water

I have only added salt as an aide to treating an illness. There are some freshwater fish that require a little salt(such as mollys). The best thing to do is to research the fish we want and see what their needs are. If salt is one of those needs then use and if not don't.
Since you have been using salt for awhile with your fish and they are doing well, I would think suddenly withdrawing that usage would be stressful on them. just my thoughts.
