Have a question regarding aquarium salt and snails.

It seems that my other betta Po has torn his fin on something, so I was going to do the salt treatment, but then I thought about my mystery snails that are in his tank. Will the salt harm them? If so, then I guess I will have to take them out and put them in something else.

Its best to QT the fish in something smaller to treat and make 100% daily water changes along with the aquarium salt 1tsp/gal...and then you don't have to worry about other livestock or the nitrogen cycle......
