Hi Michelle,
I see that our group members gave you good and detailed advise. But I'd add
what these members have taught me before, which is that I shouldn't add all
the salt at once. What I did was to fill a 1.5 litre bottle with water + 4
tablespoons of salt (My tank is a 20 gallon), and add this amount gradually
to the tank throughout the day.
I kept my two sick Angelfish in the community tank as they needed the large
water volume to heal, but I had to take one out later due to their
aggressiveness towards each other. I was quite sure that one of them was
going to die of fin rot because red strikes appeared on his fins, and his
tail was rapidly shortening. But all went well eventually.
Oh.. and remember to replace the salt proportionally with each water change
, I made 50% water changes every 48 hours, so I added 2 tablespoons of salt
with the new water each time. I gradually reduced the salt after the fish
were healed.
What other fish do you keep in the 30 gallon?
Let us know how things go with your fish. Good luck, Noura.
