Yes it was for a guppy that had a bacterial infection on its fin, from a previous wound, my fish guy said.Salt will burn fish, so it must always be completely dissolved in water and then pour the water in the tank.
May I ask why you were using salt?
Ok thank you and how often or at what frequency should I dose the tank with that amount in the event of an issue?For future reference, our disease expert recommends 1 heaped tablespoon salt per 20 litres as the starting dose. Your 54 litre tank will contain less water than that (my old 54 litre held 45 litres water) so around 2 to 2.5 tablespoons for your tank.

What to do if your fish gets sick
If your fish ever looks sick or unwell, then the following steps might help. Test the Water and Clean the Tank. Test the water quality for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH and write the results down in numbers. Check it for general hardness (GH) and carbonate hardness (KH) too if you can, but...www.fishforums.net
