Our take
Constipation and overfeeding sit behind most swim bladder problems, and a short bath in plain Epsom salt, magnesium sulfate, is the standard second step alongside fasting once a fish is floating, sinking, or swimming lopsided. This bag is fragrance-free and additive-free, exactly what a tank needs since scented or dyed bath salts are not safe near fish. Use it in a separate container for a timed soak, never poured straight into the main tank.
Good to know
- Pure magnesium sulfate USP
- Fragrance-free, no dyes or additives
- 4 lb resealable bag
- For a separate bath, not the main tank
Who it is for
- Fish showing swim bladder or buoyancy problems
- A quick, low-risk salt bath separate from the main tank
Who should skip it
- Adding directly to the display tank
- Fish whose buoyancy problem does not improve within a week, that needs a vet, not more salt
