I have amazon swords, hornwort, anubas, and anachris. I would like to use aquaruim salt as a treatment (short term). Should I remove the plants or will they be ok?
Aquarium salt and plants

Live plants - If you live plants in your aquarium, avoid using salt. Plants can be damaged with a relatively low dosage of salt, which is one reason it's best to treat sick fish in a hospital tank rather than your regular tank.

Ive got a small 10 gallon planted tank with a Figure 8 puffer and they like a little bit of aquarium salt....I havent had any issues with the salt level just a little stunted growth in plants.....but this is because I had an algae problem before I got my pleco and the algae was covering all my leaves blocking the light.....but now everything is fine
go for it, many of the salts will even be used by the plants. Just be sure not to over-do it since obviously too much of any can do harm.
