Use Ice Cream Rock Salt. You can find it at publix practically for free lol

Aquarium salt is the same thing just 30 times more expensive.

rock salt, far as i know still has many impurities and shouldn't even be consumed by people so i would definitely use table salt before i used rock salt in a tank since one of the chemicals could potentially harm your fish

Bump the heat up to 80 - 82 degrees and do not use table salt get aquarium salt or rock salt. Feed sparingly. Remember not to go adding a lot of new elements to your water all at once you will stress the fish. Make sure there is adequate surface agitation when increasing the heat.

Ice cream rock salt is just sodium chloride... I don't know what impurities you're talking about, but [most] table salts are the ones that contain other chemical additives to prevent caking for human consumption.

+1 on UV for these fish. Everyone else has had covered pretty good

I have had good luck with epsom salt because that works as diaretic.
