Any salt will do, table is fine. Yes, 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons. Do a water change first, then add the salt (make sure its completely dissolved in declorinated water before adding it to the tank, salt granules will burn the fish's gills). Wait a week before doing any water change. When you do, vacuum the gravel thoroughly, then add just enough salt to treat the water you are replacing (top off any evaporated water before you start the water change). Treat for at least 14 days, even if you don't see anymore spots on the fish.
