I've heard of people suggesting either adding salt to an aquarium (unless you have plants?) or making a salt bath and allowing the fish to swim in the salt bath for a half hour or so. What does salt actually do when added to a freshwater aquarium? Is it harmful to plants? Does it actually help cure anything? Is it acceptable to do this as a general kind of quarantine before adding fish to aquariums? What amount of salt to what amount of water is recommended when doing a salt bath or adding to the aquarium itself? (I apologize if there is a better placement for this thread)
