Detailed Description:
- Product Name: API Aquarium Salt
- Purpose: A multi-purpose salt designed to support fish health and improve water quality in freshwater aquariums.
Key Benefits:
- Promotes better gill function and oxygen uptake, ensuring fish can breathe easily in various water conditions.
- Reduces stress during handling, water changes, or the introduction of new fish.
- Provides electrolytes essential for fish’s physiological health, aiding in nutrient absorption.
- Helps combat common freshwater fish ailments, such as ich and fin rot, by supporting a healthier slime coat and creating less favorable conditions for parasites and bacteria.
Water Conditions:
- Compatibility: Suitable for all freshwater aquariums, especially during water changes, fish acclimation, or when signs of stress appear.
- Usage Guidelines: Dissolve the salt before adding it to the aquarium to ensure even distribution and avoid concentration in specific areas.
- Use one tablespoon per 5 gallons of water for routine care.
- Increase dosage slightly for therapeutic use, as directed on the product label.
- Water Changes: Reintroduce the appropriate amount of salt during water changes to maintain consistent salinity levels.
- Note: Avoid using in aquariums housing salt-sensitive species like certain catfish, loaches, and live plants.
Tank Mates:
- Best Suited For: Fish that benefit from slightly elevated salinity levels, including:
- Livebearers (guppies, mollies, platies)
- Cichlids
- Goldfish
- Danios and Barbs
- Caution: Some delicate species may not tolerate aquarium salt well. Always research the compatibility of salt with your specific fish and plants.
Feeding Habits:
- While API Aquarium Salt does not affect feeding directly, a stress-free environment promotes better appetite and digestion.
- Fish treated with salt tend to recover more quickly from illnesses and show more regular eating behaviors.
Care and Maintenance:
- Usage Timing:
- Ideal during times of stress, such as acclimating new fish, minor injuries, or after exposure to poor water conditions.
- Useful in treating minor infections and supporting recovery from common freshwater diseases.
- Avoid Overuse:
- Monitor salinity levels and adhere to the recommended dosage to prevent stressing fish or damaging aquarium plants.
- Overdosing can harm salt-sensitive species and disrupt the ecosystem balance.

Precautions:
- Test water conditions regularly when using aquarium salt to ensure fish remain in optimal health.
