Hi guys just posting this in each section to be safe.

Hi guys ive got to treat my aros scales for some kind of burn(see aro with holes down both sides)thread.
It does seem to be getting better through the twice weekly 35 to 40% water changes im doing, but im going to add some salt to try and heal it more.
Ive got polys and a dat and some tinnys in there,i think the tinnys will be fine but il ask this in the poly and DATNOID sections to see what they say.
Would a tablespoon per gallon per day be ok and carry on with the wc and up the temp to about 84.
Ive asked koji but he answered me once and for some reason hes ignored or is too busy to answer the other pms ive sent,hopefully he will come on here and help:D.

What holes....the dots that run along the aro's entire body is its lateral line. Nothing to worry about.

Exactly.... although there are some chipped scales ABOVE the lateral line.
 
No No No No No its not the lateral line,its the scales above that which are NOT chipped they are burnt somehow,it started as a dot and has grown to this NOT chipped,anyway how much salt is ok for an IT.

And again it is ABOVE the lateral line which is the problem:irked:

I have recently (last two days) used 2 lbs / 100 G and have had no ill effects. I slowly added it to the tank pre-dissolved in a 2-3 hr period. It is still in the tank.
 
Thank for the reply buddy:D
