I was told to use aquarium salt along with and after using melifix for a slight case of fin rot, and so should i continue to use up what i have to help with fin damage and should this be used all the time?
 
While some people swear by and use a small amount of salt all the time for purely freshwater fish, it's much more effective under specific conditions like treating injuries, fin rot, ick, etc. I haven't seen any evidence that use of small amounts all the time either helps or harms purely freshwater fish. (I haven't spent a lot of time looking however.)
