There's no reason to use aquarium salt for FW fish, not ever, other than to treat for ich. They don't need electrolytes added or anything else. I know what the box says and I know what LFS/LPSes try to convince people of. But there really is no good reason to use it for FW fish at all except for parasite treatment like ich or velvet.
