Good product, using it for sometime in both of my Aquariums....It seems fish are keeping healthy till now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review after two months of usage.
*by S***N on 11 September 2019*

My betta fish was suffering from fin rot and I bought this as a last resort! The progress of the rot declined drastically and my betta showed signs of getting back!!! Conclusion: The salt treats finrot and kills the progress. The salt did not help the regrowth of the fins though!! Caution: Use as recommended. The addition of salt to normal tank might decrease the bubble nest and this is pretty normal I believe! Addition of salt in high volume might lead to pass out of the fish. Look for signs of gills opening too much, if yes, remove fish and dilute the salt!!
