Even if water parameters say they are fine, I'd do a 30% water change anyway.
Add a 0.3% solution of aquarium salt.

I'm not sure what passes for an aquarium shop near me will have any
and I can't wait for mail order. Is it okay to use non-iodised table
salt? My only concern is the anti-caking agent which is magnesium
carbonate or something similar.

Cheers!

Edwards,

It needs to be pure salt. If it has anti-caking agents or iodine then don't use
it.

Hope that helps!
