Kaetlin's Fish

[Pareeeee]

I always, as a rule, add about 1-2 teaspoons of salt to my 33 gallon tank after every water change. It prevents stress and aids them in forming their natural 'slime-coat' to prevent disease. Any more than that would damage my live plants.

Never had any fish eat their own fins because of it...can't speak for bettas as I don't usually put salt in their tanks, but I have used it for treatment of diseases and have never witnessed this fin eating phenomenon.

You have to use actual Aquarium Salt made for fish. Don't use table salt or cooking salt, as they have additives such as iodine. (BAD!)
