poorly fish?

I diluted salt in a glass of water which in turn I mixed into a 10 litre
bucket of water during a 30% water change so salt was very dilute.

I'll dilute out the sea salt next time I do a water change (which is
frequent0 and get a good table salt w/o additives.

I was worried that sea salt would harm them after what you said, is it okay
to leave it until next water change? or is there a risk?

dilute it out with water changes. table salt is fine as long as it has no
additives
and is dissolved first and added carefully so dont burn the gills.
sea salt is for salt water fish. Ingrid

Ok will stick to table salt in future, and will check no additives.

Rudolf is much more active today, he's eaten for the first time and is
swimming among the other fish instead of hiding away. However his poop is a
bit white and stringy looking, and he keeps settling on the gravel, dead
still for about a minute at a time, then perks up and carries on playing.

Will look at your website for more info, but white stringy poop is not good
right?

right. white stringy is not good. but if he is doing better, maybe that will change
too.
