| SALT FOR FLOWERHORN DISEASES |
Salt: Remove submerged plants. Perform a fifty percent waterchange, and clean the tank as well as reasonably possible without causing undue delay in treatment. Apply one teaspoon of non iodized table salt per gallon of water every 12 hours for three treatments (3 tsp per gallon). Alternatively, for larger systems, dose one pound per hundred gallons of water every 12 hours for three treatments (3 pounds per hundred gallons). Add all at once in the case of epidemic mortality.
Salt needs to be removed with water changes after 14 days.
Salt will require 3-4 days to clear Ich because the Ich is "safe" from this and all medications under the skin.
Warmer water enhances the speed with which salt works on fish diseases. |
