Aquarium salt

[1bennet1]

Hi I have just bought some salt for my bettas but had a thought...I have african dwarf frogs and ottos in with my bettas will the salt harm them as they dont have scales?? Sorry if its a stupid question!

 

[wrs]

I dont think your supposed to use it w/them.

 

[1bennet1]

What is them?? both the dwarfs and the ottos?? I have the ottos in a seperate tank with a betta, and the ottos in another seperate tank with another betta

NOt sure about the frogs, but the otos im pretty sure arent tolerant to salt.

P.T.

Right okay thank alot Phantom Thief... I was just checking I thought they wouldnt because they are dwarf plecos.....So anyone know about the frogs??

I have never heard of saltwater or brackish frogs, as far as I know there are no species of marine frogs so I'm assuming that means they won't tolerate salt in the water.

Correct me if I'm wrong anyone

Well I know that one (very cruel) way of killy cane toads is to pour heaps of salt on them, so I'd assume frogs are similarly intolerant of it. I think (generally), if it doesn't have scales, you shouldn't use salt with it.

HTH

Allright thanks alot guys! No salt for them!

 

[Silly me]

you can added salt to you pond to remove frogs??

If the ADF frog is a "platanna" in afrikaans then salt will hard the poor fella
