Great Aquarium Salt
Date: July 26, 2009
"I had a tropical fish tank. A lot of the fish were dieing and I bought this product at a local petco and it worked great. It made my fish last so much longer. It was great that I could have a fish in my tank living for a year instead of a couple months!!!"

Every tank needs a little salt

"I've got a community tank full of tropicals (primarily mollies and swordtails) They're noticeably more active with a bit of salt in the tank. Promotes happy healthy fish and facilitates healing in hospital tanks."

Cheap and Effectual!
Date: January 3, 2009
"My neighbor’s betta had some white stuff on his fins. I added this salt and it was gone in about a week.
This is such a low-cost and easy preventative, that every fish owner should use it before “trouble” arises."

Important For Fish Health

"In low doses for freshwater fish, of course. My mollies are brackish fish, however, so I try to keep the salinity right around .004-.005. Never had any problems with this product!"

Aquarium Salt
Date: February 8, 2007
"This an okay product. It is good for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. If you are thinking for buying this because your fish has a gill fluke make sure it is only a minor one because a bad one will not be helped by this product. This product is cheap and is good to put in every once in a while."

cheap miracle cure
Date: April 30, 2006
"If unable to diagnose exactly what is bothering your fish, or even if you can, puting a couple teaspoons of salt in usually helps them heal quicker. My mollies are much happier on a daily basis with salt in the tank, and its helped them through injuries. But, Do Not Use it in the same tank you keep your cories, they aren't salt tolerant."
