Would adding salt harm my tetras???

Just like the question....I have rummy's and neons and I want to add salt to my tank because i'm having some parasitic breakdown with my Discus....would neons and rummynose tolerate salt in their waters

 

[MAM]

they'll be fine. what else do you hve in the tank?

If the Corydoras and Plec are in the same tank then I wouldn't advise it.

Amazonian biotopes are salt free. Adding salt to such a regime will force the kidney of your fish into overdrive, it will burn out fast. Why do you want to add salt to a species that originates from a salt free environment?

mally you can get good treatment for iscus of your LFS so try that it salt free

Meds would kill the beneficial bacteria and my Discus would suffer even more if Ammonia and nitrites shows up....I salted my tank before with the cory and plec and it didn't affect them, I'm just worried that my tetras and rams would be harm....
