Freshwater Salt
Freshwater Salt can be a useful addition to freshwater aquariums when used appropriately. It can help support fish health, reduce stress, support the natural slime coat and assist with the recovery of minor wounds.
Benefits
- Helps support fish health and wellbeing.
- Can help reduce stress in certain situations.
- Supports the fish's natural protective slime coat.
- May assist with the recovery of minor wounds.
- Can also be used in salt baths for certain fish health issues, including some external parasites such as Ich (White Spot).
General Aquarium Use
Use approximately 1 tablespoon per 20–40 litres of aquarium water, adjusting the amount to suit your setup and the needs of your fish.
Important: Not all freshwater fish, plants or invertebrates tolerate salt well. Some species are particularly sensitive, so check compatibility before adding salt to your aquarium. Avoid repeated additions without accounting for salt already present, as salt does not evaporate from the water.
Salt Baths
Freshwater Salt can also be used in separate salt baths to help manage certain fish health issues, including Ich (White Spot). The appropriate concentration and treatment duration depend on the fish species and condition. Always research the correct treatment method before use.
Suitable for freshwater aquariums and separate salt-bath treatments.

Super Safe Postage

These extra features (Thicker large parcels, larger and more bags, heating, extra insulation and water for each fish etc...) are expensive and not necessary for most parcels,
so we have made it optional for those who want to take the extra care. For rural locations or just if you want to make sure your fish will be extra safe it is recommended. All postage options still have the DOA guarantee however.
