I don't have the money to buy any salt either. Unless you can use kosher or Himalayan salt
EMERGENCY need natural remedies
I need some sort of natural remedy for glory he has clamped fins and barely eats. He has been sitting at the bottom of the tank and won't move unless I move something he's next to. I'm really scared because I just lost Malibu to sbd and I don't want to Lose glory. He ate a bunch today. He didn't have clamped fins on Wednesday when I left for my dad's house. Could he be depressed? I haven't been around because my room is full of fleas and I can't sleep in my room. Also one last thing he has like a thin layer of algae looking film on him. Any help would be great.

If your room is full of fleas..... was it treated with a chemical? If your room was treated with something to kill the fleas, I would move Glory ASAP into another room, and do a full water change for him.
If no chemicals were used in your room, then could you fill out the form below so that we have more information? Answer what you can, and leave anything else blank.
Also, can you post some photos of him?

Kosher salt is basically aquarium salt. But, don't use anything unless you know what's wrong.
