does anyone use aquarium salt for discus tank??

Totally agree with ShinShin

Def too much advise lately on dumping salt into tanks. I only use after pp bath, or for minor skin/fin damage. and then only for a day or two.

Think about it - if discus water requires salt, why have they evolved in water containing virtually no mineral content? Salt is the most misused and overused chemical in the discus fishroom. If a discus appears to be jumpy after a water change, check the parameters of the tank water and ingoing water. You should be able to lay your discus on their sides, fill the tank, and see no adverse reactions.

Good info, thanks. I was under the impression that salt was encouraged for the overall well being of the fish.
