In your experiences, what fish do badly with high levels of aquarium salt?
 
Discus. Many fish will tolerate 1 teaspoon per gallon but 4 teaspoons + is more brackish.

Many fish however do not like salt, such as loaches, plecos, some cichlids, 'scaleless' fish etc. I do not use salt except for Healing, Medication purposes and Quarentine tanks.
 
From my experience:

Angelfish
Most catfish
Neon Tetras
Bala Sharks
Rams
Plecos
Clown/Weather Loaches
Elephant Nose/Baby Whales

At work we see mass deaths in these species if we use more than 1.5 teaspoons per gallon.
