DO NOT put salt into a snakehead tank. That's how I killed my three monster reds (18" to 20"). Someone bought them, and brought them back, but they were looking stressed out. So I added just a little salt in there, and voila. They were dead the next day. Belly up. I think it messes with their equilibrium. Adds air into their air bladder that controls their balance. This is my most expensive two cents. I am still grieving, but gotta move on. It is hard to find these big ones nowadays, even the smaller ones. I don't think I can dish out alot of money for a rainbow, at least not the asking price for them lately.rumblesushi said:

Ditto!but have heard similar stories tho?...
i believe it could have been some impurity w the salt used. Or maybe too much was used. I do realise that the more serious the injury the more careful u shld be in the application of salt. Too much salt can cause the fish to go into a shock and expire.
