    I've done 1-tsp Epson Salt per 10 gallons in a tank with 3 bristlenose with no ill effects.  Not sure about aquarium salt though.

      I agree with geek.  I kept bristlenose with my trophs and I added 1-tsp Epson Salt per 10 gallons.  They lived and did fine.  Until the trophs turned on them one day and kill them off.
      I ate my fish that died.

          Should be fine, I usually dose my big tanks with 1 1/2-2 cups every 2-3 months, my last male was close to 4 1/2" before he was traded to Ek.

              I use a handful per 50 gallons...... sea salt

              He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'
