Rating Snapshot
Review this Product
Customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this aquarium salt for dramatically improving fish health and treating common diseases like ich, fin rot, and dropsy. Reviewers consistently note that fish become more active and vibrant after use, with many describing it as a lifesaver for recovery. The salt dissolves quickly without residue, contains no additives, and works reliably across diverse freshwater setups including bettas, mollies, goldfish, and cichlids. Most customers now use it routinely during water changes as a preventive measure. A few note it is unsuitable for sensitive species like corydoras catfish, but overall, customers consider it an essential aquarium staple.

Will this help my beta fish with popeye?
- Aquarium Salt, or better Epson Salt, should do it, unless it’s to far going on. Remove 10% of the water from your tank and place it into a container. Add your betta to the container and dose it with Epsom salt. There will be a recommended amount on the bottle as well as instructions on how to use it (but if not you should use 1 tablespoon per gallon). Just remember, that you should dissolve Epsom salt before adding it to the container. You should leave your betta in the container for 10 minutes before adding it back to your main tank (remember before adding it back to the main tank it will need to be acclimatized for a couple of minutes). Make sure you float the container in your aquarium to keep the water warm enough.

Experiencing a nitrite spike in my 120 gal tank. I have used Prime to nullify the nitrities and have done 30 gallon water changes 2 days in a row, but nitrities still coming in st 4-5ppm. Will aquarium salt lower my nitrite levels?

- no! mix 1 1/2 tsp of sea salt with one cup (8oz) of distilled or treated water. do not use table salt!
