Aquarium Salt With Every Waterchange?
Hi!
I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were! Is it beneficial to fish (primarily the betta) to add aquarium salt with every water change?
**Still trying 2 get pics of new bettas, having camera issues now!

I really don't think it's necessary to add salt to their tanks as a regular thing. Especially as the weather gets warmer, the more the tank water evaporates, the more concentrated the salt levels will be in the tank, which isn't good.

i dont see the point in adding it unless the fish is ill and it sometimes helps. i cant see how it would benfit a fish thats freshwater because they are oviously adapted and do fine in freshwater so i think it would proberly do more harm than good.

Thanks for your help!!
My lfs had told us to add aquarium salt with every water change!
I talked to my friend who's very smart n knowledgable he said that wasn't a good idea! He was right! I'll think twice b4 listening to the lfs but tbh it was really hubbys fault!

At the moment I use a small cap of aquarium salt at every water change because both my bettas have just got over a touch of fin rot and I'm still dubious about the regrowth. Once I'm sure its all good I'll cease usage.
