how much salt is needed for a freshwater 60 gal aquarium?

[baronofree1]

If you have freshwater fish like goldfish - none. In fact it will shorten their lives.

But if you have brackish water fish, like guppies, you can add a small amount of salt, but then special aquarium,salt, the as on dose in the packet, and never table salt which has iodine.

no salt

Fresh water tanks do not need salt. Salt can help with certain problems that might arise if you don't do things correctly but healthy fish DO NOT need it. I have kept fish for twenty years and I keep them healthy and long lived by taking good care of them, stocking them properly, feeding them properly. Never, ever have I used salt.

Keep it simple and less will go wrong.

none. U dont need to put any salt in your tank unless if they have a disease as fin rot or ick it does help but besides that u dont need to put any. And plecos dont belong with goldfish.
