In one of my tanks, a 10gal, I have three young platys (2 high-fin and 1 sunset) and a lovely male betta. They are fairly new, and a minute ago I realised one of the platys has fungus and/finrot. I have moved her to a 5gal hospital tank. I added the last few drops of Protozin that I have, and I don't have any more medicines. I have normal table salt ~ but I don't think I can use that because it has baking soda or something doesn't it? ~ But I have normal sea salt. The ingredients are...
sea salt
anticaking agent
magnesium carbonate
potassium hexacyanoferrate ll.
Could I do salt dips in this until I can get to a LFS tomorrow? And should I treat my 10gal?
Thanks everyone. I was having a panick attack but have calmed down now.
OK, I have added the sea salt (Only a few grains) to each tank. At first the betta flared out his front fins and took a H-U-G-E breath, and I thought OMG what have I done! I've killed him! But they're ok now. But my little snail Speedy is floating at the top.
Fingers crossed everything will be ok!
EDIT: OMG I just remembered! SALT KILLS SNAILS! Oh no I've killed him!
