Quick Question About Salt

[aznkidang]

Hello MFKERS..
Can I buy this kosher for healing a fish and stuff?
If not can you show me the right kosher to buy
Thanks

why don't you just buy aquarium salt?
it's like the same price; if not cheaper..

Any sodium chloride is fine as long as it does NOT have yellow prussiate with it. Iodide issues should never even be a cause for concern. The concentration is far too minute to cause complications in your fish. Don't worry if you use iodized table salt.

Oh and how much tsp per gal?

 

[Lupin]

Yes. And as long as you're using it to treat fish, then use it. For any other reasons, no. A teaspoon per gallon added every 12 hours until you reach a total of 2-3 teaspoons per gallon (depending on the tolerance of your fish) should be enough to help the wounds heal quickly without harmful bacteria attempting to latch and infect the wound.

Why not just use Morton Water Softener Solar Salt (used to treat drinking water with hard minerals).. It's 99.999% NaCl, no additives

You can get 40 lbs for $5 at Home Depot. I use it all the time without any problems.

Morton's site even states that the Water Softener salt is SAFE for freshwater aquarium usage.
