I used sea salt when I treated my tropheus, but I think the aquarium salt box says you can use it to treat diseases.

What I do is dissolve the salt in a bucket of water and slowly add it a little at a time throughout the day. I don't think it's necessary to do it that way, but I like the slow acclimation process if I'm adding a lot of salt.

You never said what size your tank is! Don't go by my terrible math and my bad memory!! I wouldn't want to be responsible for pickling your fish.

The salt is a place to start. There's no way to guarantee it will work, but there is little to go by to make a diagnosis and recommend medication, etc.

Do you have any Melafix? Or another medication that treats fin rot?

If you have a test kit, you should check your water parameters and try to figure out what's going on.

Sorry to hear that D. You can always look for another male or see if a breeder wants to buy some extra females.
