Guys, i have anchor worms in my other tank now. Its on my aro, datnoid, eel and botias. I want to use salt but am not sure how much a datnoid can endure. I know they start scratching more after eating salty foods so is it wise to treath with salt?
Salt?

Anchor worms are very hard to kill since they have a outer shell that protects them from regular medicines. They must be treated with medicine containint organophosphate. I would recomend Dimlin to treat the fish. Just make sure it really is anchor worms.
Ive had anchorworms before and in fact they die very easily with salt. Ive treathed with 0.5% and a higher temp and they fell like flies 
datnoids can cope very well with salt, i have even salt bathed a datnoid after it caught an infection after it was wounded and the wound would not heal, it did heal after i did that and a treatment with salt in the tank.
yeah, i thought it was good but had to be sure the dat could take it.
im gonna go to 5 grams/ liter in the coming week. Starting with 1 kilo 2night.
