Is Aquarium Salt Safe For Cories?

[BluexEmber]

Specifically panda cories, I've heard that they have a low salt tolerance but aquarium salt isn't like marine salt...

 

[mommyof2bettas]

yes, but I believe they don't like that either.

Ok, thanks.

Its still sodium chloride, they dont have scales so arent very tolerant to the salt

It's not actually about the scales- after all, there are plenty of scaleless fish in the sea. More to do with the fact that there is no salt where they live so they have never adapted to cope with it.
