I have in there Neon Tetras, Black Neon Tetras and Bronze cories. Will salt (0.3%, three teaspoons per gallon, added in three shifts) and raised temperatures (80* right?) be safe for these fish?

Once the treatment is over, the salt is removed gradually over normal (10-20%) weekly water changes, right?

I'd read somewhere that cories can't have ANY salt, so i wanted to check. I don't want to use harsh chemicals if I can avoid it, I'm very much more into the organic and natural route.

Thanks!
