When keeping tropical fish, add salt about once a month, but not too much — 75 g per 50 kg of water. Usually add it after a water change; moderate salt disinfects and breaks down bleach in tap water.
When fish are sick, also add a little salt to change the water’s osmotic pressure and reduce pathogen harm.
