[@pamelagonzalez9567]

It is always good seeing you in Yankee's live stream ...... I had no idea you can use salt!.so I am learning something here lol, great video thanks .....hugs

[@MattyP650]

yo, your videos are terrible man. quit the site and STOP now. you're completely unprofessional, this is the 2nd time you've advised doses that are WAY above safety levels for fish. Your levamisole video advises people to use over 10x the safe limit, and this epsom salt video is quite similar. You're sick in the head, stop making videos. And STOP hearting comments without replying, you sick fuck

[@carbonrili2874]

Thank you Sir for teaching us to use healthier ways to treat sick fish. Instead of us using medication all the time.

aquarium always keep me happy

[@violentcat345]

Fantastic video salt is such an effective treatment, unless you're like me and have plecos in almost all your tanks! I'd love to see you touch on alternatives for those of us who have the kinds of fish where salt is not an option. Looking forward to this series a whole bunch because I just know it'll be a series I'll keep bookmarked for future reference. Thanks so much for the effort you put in Joseph!

[@JHAquatics]

I feel like salt at the right amount can be used on catfish. But I do know many people that use H2O2 as an alternative. I would probably just go straight to meds with a catfish if the disease is bad. All fish are different. Please keep in mind I am not a vet or a doctor this is just what I do. Thank you for your positive feedback and your support!!

[@zephyr7718]

Great video! I wish I had known more about the benefits of using Epsom salt for constipation. Agree that using aquarium salt is first line of defense for ich! Thanks.

[@HaYNFishKeeper]

Awesome video braddah love seeing different ways fish keepers treat fish for illness can't wait for the next 2, 3, 4, 5 episodes... Much love and Aloha🐠🍍

This video was so helpful when I was dealing with my fish Henry Halfmoon and his fin rot. Thank you so much!

[@bpope3850]

I agree with the Epson salt thing. I've done it, and it works miracles.

[@charliebright12]

Some of us 3000 year old fish keepers can remember when there was not a drug store at the at the Fish store and salt was about the only thin to use.🌿🐟🐠😎

[@rantsandreviews]

Great information...thanks for sharing.

[@christophergruenwald5054]

I’ve used salt several times to cure ich. 1 Tbsp per gallon in the main tank. Increase temperature and water flow if you don’t already have good water flow.

[@RiverLifeUS]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing your methodology 👍

[@HCAqua]

A much needed video. I'll have to put this one in my saved list.

[@KGcichlids]

[@nozr1383]

I was very hesitant about using salt. It probably would have saved my Oscar. I'll definitely try it next time. Great video!

[@wesstaff2493]

Can API Aquarium salt be ok to use for the same purpose?

[@carolehutchinson2568]

Why do other forums typically say one tablespoon Epsom per gallon for a salt dip on a constipated fish? 30 grams per liter is almost 6 tablespoons per gallon.

[@randymonge8961]

What about cloudy eyes. Is there anything for that.

[@roseswitzberg2002]

Now I have learned some thing new.

[@MrMiyad]

Can i use this to sterile my aquarium water?

[@dennisruedel]

I really enjoyed this video a lot, but I wish you would have converted your measurements into T Spoons, tablespoons, and gallons, especially for ICH and constipated fish. Otherwise great video 👍!

[@Santhosh-g7x]

My flowerhorn fish is staying at top of one corner and not eating pellets and also my aquarium water colour became green what to do

[@rolflagnado1864]

I have an older goldfish that seems to have swimbladder problems. He keeps floating to the top and just lying upside down at the top of the tank. I usually make a partial water change every other week, leaving them without food for three days, and feeding them with skinned peas after that. My water parameters are fine, no real issues. I've started doing a weekly change now, as it seems to have become a bit worse of late. I have taken out the carbon, but what else can I do? Put epsom salt? I've raise the temperature, used seas salt for the past couple of weeks. This fish is over 18 years old and I don't want to lose him. Please help!!

[@Youdrone314]

Good stuff👏👏😀

[@ulises3259]

Hi, i dosed 5 tablespoons of epsom salt to my 46 bow front and the fish havent pooped??... they are dealing with a internal parasite and treated them with general cure...but they still not eat and very lethargic...any tips?

30 grams per liter. I assume this is a bath measure. How about just using in a quarantine 10 gal? I tablespoon per gallon?

i think my flowerhorn is sick all its pink color is turning white and not eating for 3 days now. staying only at on place at the bottom corner of the tank..

[@brooke3140]

I'm curious. What would you use for a scaleless fish with ich? I was always told no aquarium salt only epsom

[@JHAquatics]

IchX is the best in this situation as far as I know. Maybe tannins from botanicals and increase the temperature.

[@rubricmarine6857]

Is a small concentration safe for corydoras or should I just not salt them ?

[@JHAquatics]

Catfish do not like Salt too much. But in small amounts followed by returning the fish into freshwater should be fine. With catfish, a temporary bath is more realistic than anything long-term.

[@rubricmarine6857]

@@JHAquatics Thank you.

[@dwchino21]

hi JH Aquatics, how often can i use epsom salt baths? if its for constipation, should i expect 1 bath to fix all problems? or should i do multiple? if multiple, is there a minimum amount of times i can do it a week?

[@JHAquatics]

I will do more than one treatment if needed. You definitely want to allow the fish to return to fresh water for a while in between treatments.

[@Tropicalfishcrazechannel]

SUPERB INFORMATION

[@michaellou7101]

Actually the Ich on the body of the fish is shielded from salt. What you’re seeing I think is just fish slime. Salt will kill the Ich that is free spinning, not the cyst form on the body of your fish.

[@Bk-pu6to]

Good informative video...what about api aquarium salt? I use it when I do water changes. 👍

[@melanielizz7003]

Should i remove the filter floss and bio balls out of my sump?

[@JHAquatics]

no, but active carbon and UV if you have it.

[@carlagutierrez7296]

Hey I know this is an older video but if I treated my betta with aquarium salt how long should I wait to treat my betta with salt again after doing the 10 days? It’s been a month since I last treated my betta and I wanna know if I can start treating him again or would it be too soon?

[@cheyenneporter7824]

How often can I do Epsom salt baths to a fish with swim bladder????? ❓❓

[@JHAquatics]

I have started to hear from vets that the Epsom salt does not work as people think. It might help loosen things up but constipation in fish can be deadly. I would try feeding foods that would help move things thru like unsalted peas

[@Rippingthewall]

What happened to your Levamisole video. I was looking up directions for camallanus worms and I came across dosages of 9mg per gallon but I remember your video being like 1 gram per 20 gallons. Stark contrast so I tried to verify with your video and I couldn’t find it anymore.

[@JHAquatics]

I took it down because the measurements were wrong. 1/4 teaspoon to 100 gallons. So .25 of a gram to 100 gallons of water. You can make up a larger batch like 400 ml in a plastic bottle not metal. but make up like 400 ml of solution with .25g and then just treat accordingly. divide up the solution so 100ml should treat 25 gallons of water.

[@Rippingthewall]

Wow, so I crazy overdosed them the first time? I did the gram per 20. But it wasn’t just your video. It’s crazy 4 months ago all the videos said 1g per 20 now I see 9mg per gal everywhere. Was there a levamisole breakthrough or something?

[@theanimaladdiction]

So I have a tank with ich that got ich from me not noticing the guppy I had taken out of quarantine had those little white spots. Only like 3 or 4 and a few days later here i am with most the fish being infected. I treated the whole tank with marine salt and I'll do a 50% water change tomorrow morning. Should I do anything different? Should I get the marine salt out with a water change now or should I wait until morning? Idk i used to treat with medicine but i dont have any access to it right now or for at least a week so i put about 3 tablespoons of marine salt that i first dissolved into a cup of water then i poured it in to my ten gallon. Is this too much or should I do a water change now or what?

The difference between regular salt and marine salt is marine salt contains minerals and regular salt is just salt

30 gram per liter ... for 30 min of epsom salt? Are you sure? You didn't mean 3 grams ? Have you tried that before with *BETTAS* or any fish? Most users recommend no more than a gram per liter for 10 to 15 minutes otherwise it could lead to poisoning and death PLEASE answer, thanks

30g per litre !!! Is WAY OVER, approx 18g for US gallon or +/- 5g per litre.
