Can Tetras Tolerate Salt?

[fluffycabbage]

ive mentioned a few times in various posts about the hospital tank my neon tetras is in has salt in it (sharing with a sick molly). can they tolerate this, or should i be giving them truly fresh water? ph is generally 8 here, 7.5 with bogwood.

yeah would account for some of the odd behaviour no doubt
trouble is, theyre in a tank with meds, so i dont wanna start removing salt by water changes, coz it'll not only remove the meds but it'll remove the salt which i need to keep in there for the molly! gah, what to do...
