My betta sadly had to be euthanized last week. He had no signs of illness so I believed it to be old age, but I want to ensure that if it was an invisible illness the tank will be safe for a new betta in a few weeks. My current ideas are to do a full water change and treat the tank with aquarium salt. I'm not sure which I should do first, treat the current water with salt and then change it out, or change the water, treat with salt, and change again. I don't want to crash my cycle so I want to try and do it correctly. Any tips or ideas?
The tank is planted but only with java fern, anubias, and moss balls, so I'm not too worried about the salt affecting the plants since they're so hardy. I have checked parameters and they're fine, I plan on continuing to monitor them.
