    you need to test am and nitrites... high levels of either can be lethal
    salt may help but it depends on what's wrong - if you do add salt, read up on it first! don't use table salt - caking agents can kill the fish

    Re: bright red on tillapia's lower jaw

    I have marine salt that is for fish tanks but wouldn't it hurt my plants? I don't have any ammonia otlr nitrite tests i can't afford my own and the school says they are unnecessary because if there levels are high then nitrates would be high
