How to Cure Disease
What is a salt bath?
Since ancient times, salt water has often been used to treat goldfish diseases.When using salt, the key points to consider are the concentration and the time of application. Goldfish in freshwater can tolerate up to 3% salt concentration, but not for long periods of time. For the general public, it is recommended to use a salt concentration of 0.5% or less.For example, 0.5% salt for 100 liters of water is 500 grams; a 60-centimeter aquarium holds an average of 50 liters of water, so salt should not exceed 250 grams. *Salt is also effective when used in conjunction with a medicated bath.

When bathing goldfish, be aware that some plants in the aquarium may need to be removed depending on the medication.
