1. API aquarium salt. (1 Tbsp per 5 gallons)
2. Thats funny cuz i have 2 peppered (corydoras paleatus) and 1 spotted cory that have been living in that kind of environment for sometime now and are growing and thriving... sooo anyway
the celeb tank is at the same salt content

It may not kill them but salt is irritating to scaleless fish. It's added stress that is unnecessary IMO, and also because I believe salt is a waste of money but I'd rather not get into that debate 
fair enough... i guess its just something ive always done... but then again most everything else petco told me ten years ago was wrong... thanks for the info

The only time salt is not a waste of money is when ich crops up.
Well, yes. But I believe that regular table salt does the trick, at least from what I have heard. Aquarium salt, on the other hand is a marketing ploy.
haha even still the anti ich salt can have its repercussions...
I had my 3" Black snail crawl into my salt (i had a cup of it sitting in there) and shriveled up and died
