The best way to keep your aquarium clean is to maintain good water quality. This will keep your fish strong and vibrant, as well as preventing disease. How Do I Maintain A Healthy Environment? It is important to test your aquarium water weekly to verify good quality in addition to a bi-weekly partial water change of no more than 25% to help reduce toxic buildup, remove debris the filter missed, and replenish the oxygen available to fish. How Do I Take Good Care Of My Aquarium & Fish? Feed & observe fish daily Test water quality weekly Change 25% water every 2 weeks Restore your ecosystem monthly Feed Your Fish Daily Feed your fish twice daily with API Fish Food which contains nutritionally enhanced proteins, allowing for easy uptake of nutrients and maximum absorption, resulting in less excrement for clear, clean water. Take time to observe fish to ensure they are active & healthy and be sure to check water temperature. Test Water Quality Weekly An aquarium is a closed environment and in order for fish to thrive, water must be similar to that which could be found in their natural environment. Poor water quality can cause fish stress, illness and even loss. The 5 common water quality parameters are Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH - all of which may vary over time and all are invisible to the eye which is why it is important to test weekly with API MASTER TEST KITS or API 5-IN-1 TEST STRIPS. It is also a good time to add API STRESS ZYME to keep your aquarium & gravel clean. Change 25% Water Every 2 Weeks In a closed aquarium environment there are no natural rivers or streams to carry away debris and other waste materials. It is important to renew 25% of the aquarium water every two weeks. When you change the water, it is important to know that tap water contains chemicals that make it safe for us to drink but harmful for fish, therefore add a water conditioner such as API STRESS COAT. Restore Your Ecosystem Monthly It is important to change your filter media & clean gravel monthly, however in doing so it can disrupt the fragile ecosystem of your aquarium. Use API QUICK START to strengthen it with ‘beneficial’ nitrifying bacteria that will naturally consume toxic compounds and help prevent fish stress. Also recommended when starting a new aquarium or changing the water.

Review: Excellent product - I use this on my fresh water aquarium. Highly Recommended 👍🏼👍🏼 Review: great product - My goldfish was bloating when I changed full water with bottled mineral water; which I shouldn't ideally, but a small scoop of API aquarium salt worked wonders in 5 days. As the aquarium has some live plants, I didn't want to add too much salt. ## Features - Provides essential electrolytes fish need to reach peak coloration and vitality;Promotes fish health and reduces stress;Making it easier for fish to breathe;Improves gill function ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000255NIC | | Allergen Information | BPA-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,403 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #27 in Aquarium Water Quality Testing & Treatment | | Brand | API | | Brand Name | API | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 18,495 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00317163011065 | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Type Name | API Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 16 OZ | | Item Weight | 453 Grams | | Item form | Powder | | Item weight | 453 Grams | | Manufacturer | API | | Manufacturer Part Number | 106 | | Model Number | 106 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Target Species | Fish | | UPC | 317163011065 | | Unit Count | 454 Grams | | Unit count | 454 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** API - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 526.16 Grams - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Unit count:** 454 Grams ## Images ![Api Aquarium Salt For Freshwater Aquarium Fish Electrolyte Balance, Multicolor, Api Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 17 Oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5188uXcNNzL.jpg) ![Api Aquarium Salt For Freshwater Aquarium Fish Electrolyte Balance, Multicolor, Api Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 17 Oz - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RvXsNZN0L.jpg) ![Api Aquarium Salt For Freshwater Aquarium Fish Electrolyte Balance, Multicolor, Api Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 17 Oz - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M6WJOkrVL.jpg) ![Api Aquarium Salt For Freshwater Aquarium Fish Electrolyte Balance, Multicolor, Api Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 17 Oz - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-NF0eZ4aL.jpg) ![Api Aquarium Salt For Freshwater Aquarium Fish Electrolyte Balance, Multicolor, Api Freshwater Aquarium Salt, 17 Oz - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qlYAKpqML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much dose is safe for snails?** A: We would not recommend to use salt with snails. **Q: Is 33oz sufficient for a 30 gallon tank with 1 betta (some discoloration and eye issue) and 3 snails? 64oz is 4 pounds and seems like a bit much.** A: Its more than sufficient! It will last you a long time. 33 oz is enough to treat about 220 gallons! Thats about enough for 21 water changes (if you do 10 gallons each time). 1 tablespoon for every 5 gallons = 6 tablespoons or 3/8 of a cup. I have a 29 gallon tank and I do water changes biweekly (mollys poop a lot). I recommend this as some water filtering systems and treatments remove vital electrolytes. Think of it as Gatorade or alkaline mineral water for your fish. Its also good to have for when they are a bit under the weather. **Q: How much do you put in to make a fresh water 3 gallon fish tank a brackish fish tank for my dwarf pufferfish** A: I put a tablespoon per 10 gallons, but mine aren't brackish tanks. Have had a Green Spotted Puffer for 5-6 years and it does fine in freshwater. Don't know if other kinds can be freshwater. **Q: It says to use for up to 10 days only, right? What happens after that? Same old maintenance, and the fins will continue to heal? Thank you in advance.** A: It is not listed in the instructions to only use for 10 days. We would recommend to dose the aquarium and the salt will continue to be in there. The only time you would re-add salt is when water is removed and added back in. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product *by E***. on 20 May 2025* I use this on my fresh water aquarium.
