Well I was asking also because these are the fish I got when I got the
guppies from my LFS, they all had ick, which may not of been smart to buy
them, but they are closing, they were the last of what she had and I felt
bad, I treated the guppies with ick med and had a lot of problems with them
I lost some but think I am on the right road now, been doing a lot of water
changes and i am feeding less, I was reading about bettas and ick and it
said turn heat up to 80-85 use salt and the ick will come off got to the
bottom of the tank and die from the salt, and it would also help prevent any
other bacteria problems since they were sick with ick, I also wanted to use
salt in my guppy tank being the problems they had but I have African dwarf
frogs in there and they don't tolerate salt, but I may remove them and use
it, im not sure yet.
I have another question about my guppy ill post separate.

i have read i should put salt in with my betta's and as long as it is non
iodide that it is fine, so went to the store and got some. morton salt
non-iodide ingredients: salt / calcium silicate
if this is ok to use...... how much salt do you use per gallon?

========================
I don't use any salt in my betta tanks. They live 4 years and sometimes
longer.
