Hi can some one tel me how mutch salt i must put in 2 liter of water for fish treatment again have done that so long a go can remember the amount any more.

For two litre you can add about 3/4 table spoon, epson salt, fish can be added for about 20 minutes

 

Thank you

 

@Swerwer ,

If you referring to salt to treat wounds its 2 tablespoons per 5 gallons of water

Dissolve the salt very well in boiling water first and allow to cool
I usually dont add it all at same time, i add a bit at a time over a couple hours ( 2 or 3)
Throw it slowly where your filter return is so it spreads quickly
This low dosage doesnt usually kill plants over a couple days

Epsom salt as far as i know, is not to treat wounds, its usually used mostly for bloat

 

Thanks yes i used normal aqaurium salt. The fish is now 2 days alown in the tank hire eye looks alot beter now than befor will check the weekend how it looks.

 

I could never get myself to add the 2 tablespoons per gallon, it seems too much...

 

@RaXoR_ZA ,

I did not say 2 tablespoons per gallon

I said 2 tablespoons for 5 gallons for injuries

In severe, stubborn ICH out breaks, 3 tablespoons to 5 gallons is safe.
I also explained to add the solution a bit at a time over couple hours

About 5 years ago, i had a horrendous out break of ICH and thought i was going to lose all my clown loaches as they were more white with the ICH than black and yellow
Fortunately, stingrays dont get ICH
I cured them without losing any fish or rays at 4 tablespoons per 5 gallons and temperature at 30

We then invested on UV lights/sterilizers and have not had ICH in any tank since
