My betta has some very slight fin rot and tears in his fins. I’m assuming he got the fin rot from fish-in cycling problems (ammonia was way to high) and he was pretty stressed out because of this. The water perimeters are all normal now and I do 25%-30% water changes every week.
Anyway I was going to use aquarium salt to help the fin rot, but I’m not quite sure how to use it. I currently can’t make a quarantine tank, but I think my current tank should work with the aquarium salt (unless you wouldn’t suggest I shouldn’t add the salt to my main tank...)
-How long would I have to use the aquarium salt for? A week?
-Some websites I looked at said to do 50% water changes but others said 100% water changes. I’m guessing since I’m going to be adding the salt to the main tank I would have to change 50% of the water every day?
-Do I have to take my filter out? Or do I have to clean it after I’m done using the aquarium salt?
-Is aquarium salt safe for moss balls?
-Anything else I should know before using aquarium salt?
Here’s a picture of before and after the problem started:
