you need to test for "hardness" and make sure your water has calcium hardness. a
little salt, 1 teaspoon per 5 gallons is great tonic for GF. and water with
chlorines or chloramines, like city water, must be treated with dechlor (sodium
thiosulfate) or the fish will die very rapidly. Ingrid

I just added some salt to the water, but how often do I do it?

AquaPlus removes chlorine and chloramine. I read the label.

ALL fish need a water conditioner unless it's well water that does not
have heavy metals in it. If in doubt add conditioner. Salt can be
added to balance the tank at the rate of 1 tbsp per 10 gallons. You
can use more salt if there are problems with illness. If illness is
the problem please let us know so we can advise you.
