just regular table salt will work right?
no. Table salt also usually contains small amounts iodine and calcium silicate. The iodine prevents goiter in humans that eat the table salt, and the calcium silicate prevents the table salt from caking.
Some people have added table salt to their aquarium water and had no problems. But other people have had trouble after putting table salt in their aquarium water. Therefore it is usually recommended that table salt NOT be added to aquarium water.
 
Which treatment are you going with?
 
Go buy some aquarium salt (I use API brand), but i wouldnt get the ich treatment. its more expensive, and the salt is equally effective. Also it is best to only use meds only when completley neccisary, as they can stress the fish.
 
best of luck...remember to keep the heat up to 84-86 for another 4-7 days AFTER all symptoms are gone.
