Question: Using salt in tank to treat fungus??

[Slash1406]

So my axolotl just had a fungal infection which went away after salt bathing, however it has come back. I rang the aquarium where I bought him and they said to add 40g of salt per 10L of water to the tank. Is this safe to do???

If you have already had positive results with salt bathing before, then that would be the best way to go.
I would not add the salt to the aquarium no. Axolotl need only 10 - 15mins at a time for a salt bath. Any longer and it will burn their feathers/gills. There is an excellent salt bath tutorial on here, follow that and I am sure you will conquer the hateful fungus.
Good luck.
