FACT:[h=3]Salt Kills Freshwater Fish and Shuts Down Their Kidneys.[/h]Some disturbing news has been going around that states salt levels above 0.3% are going to cure your fish if they are all broken out in sores. This is incorrect because salt works by using osmotic pressure, and therefore will not kill bacteria that are in the fish's bloodstream. These bacteria cause diseases.
Salt will also damage your bio filter and cause high ammonia levels.
We have received call after call from Koi pond hobbyists, and tropical fish hobbyists in the last couple of months, that have ruined their pond, and/or killed their tropical fish due to over-salting. Unfortunately the salt takes awhile (a month to three months) to kill the fish. So most folks do not understand.

We have a very high success rate with our healing and treatment techniques. If you want to save your fish, please take some time to read the material in the Koi pond section of our disease library.

It does work better with certain fish like polys are sensitive to a lot of different medication so salt works great IME.. I don't add it unless I have to, and even if I do its way less then people recommend on the internet and it hasn't resulted in any of my fish dying or being sick.. yet at least haha
I use kosher slat w/o additives when I do though

If money is an issue try Stucci website for deals on salt. On marinedepot website they sell 175 gallons of salt for around 75$
