  1. Just skip the salt bath entirely.  As I can see from your previous question, you are still under the false impression that salt will cure fin rot-- it will not.  Aeromonas hydrophila, the most common bacterium responsible for fin rot, is entirely resistant to salt, tolerating MARINE salinities.  To kill this bacterium with salt, you would have to go FAR past levels that would kill the fish.  Use a real medication like Maracyn TC, Maracyn 2, Furan 2, Kanaplex, Triple Sulfa, Trisulfa, TC Capsules, or similar gram negative effective drugs that WILL affect it.
