Salt in a cichlid aquarium

Salt can be beneficial in a cichlid aquarium as it can help with stress reduction, promote gill function, and prevent certain diseases. However, it's important to use it judiciously, as not all cichlid species tolerate salt well. Generally, aquarium salt should be added in moderation, and it's best to research the specific needs of your cichlid species before adding it to the tank. Always monitor water parameters and the health of your fish when introducing any additives.
