Putting Salt In A Fish Tank

[Ben.M]

The main fish that i keep are guppies and i've read that they benefit from a little bit of salt added to their water, it also has anti-bacterial properties too but will this affect the snails in the tank??? as i know land snails and salt do not mix!,

thanks,

Most people dont bother with salt in their tanks, the costs out weigh the benefits in most cases and i dont think it would be a good idea with snails but i'm not certain you would also have to check out what else was in your tank before adding it.

Yeah, basically salt is a total waste of time. It could affect the snails, but it would depend on the species.

basically you shouldnt bother its a waste of time and money aswell
if u were to go for mollies it would be a different answer

hold the salt.... and pepper lol

Whether you have mollies or guppies the salt answer is simple. Salt is fine for french fries but has no place in my aquarium.
