their is nothing wrong with my leopoldis i have done 3 water changes this week 40%-50%.The salt had no effect on the hybrid.If you read about the salt treatments some pros disagree and some agree so it for you to decide.I think that it helped but i am going to do a 50% water change soon and add no more salt.I think it just helped with stress but after i gave the almost dead ray the salt bath for 5 minutes he ate hours later.If i stressed him or shocked him or did any harm do you think he would have ate,probably not.
