Salt doesn’t dissipate in water so all you put in is still there unless you do a water change. @Colin_T

@essjay might help with this, I don't remember the name of the thread...
You've told me to use salt on "Possible pregnant molly" thread, then you've told me to use 4 tablespoons of salt per 20L so I added 12 table spoons to my 60L.
What should I do? Should I add more salt? If so, how much?
Was this for your fish gasping at the surface after you sprayed fabreeze in the same room?

Yep. Should I add more salt?
I didn't think you should have added salt in the first place, I was surprised, but wouldn't doubt @Colin_T advice on these matters. I'd rather not give advice on something I'm not 100% sure about if im honest

Well, I'll wait for @Colin_T. Its just couple of hours....
He probably comes online to find he's been tagged in 100 different threads, multiple times, for advice on treating a problem with a fish.

I know that Salty&Onion treated the tank with eSHa ndx (levamisole) followed by eSHa gdex (praziquantel) because I helped her work out how much of these meds to dose and on what days.
In the first post in this thread Salty says she started salt treatment just under a week ago, and the last post in the thread in the link above is the only post by Colin that I can find in a thread by Salty which mentions salt. He said
But gasping at the surface and being skinny are internal issues, not external.
White and moving poo! What to do?
I noticed that my swordtail female was doing a white poo, but I noticed couple of seconds later that the poo is moving! I caught her into a net to remove the poo myself, mostly just for a closer look, but whatever it was, it went back inside very quickly! I added rest of my aquarium salt and a...
