been reading up on salt treatment and im getting alil different in each one. How much salt per 5 gal should i use(i have some scaless fish) and do i need to do water changes while treating this way? thanks
 
About 5 tablespoons per 5 gallons (1 tbsp/gallon). Keep an eye on the scaleless fish though... if they start to take quick and shallow breaths, do a water change.

I usually up water changes during salt treatment. Just replace the salt you removed.
