Dying Plants

[neon]

A few days ago I started using Pimafix to treat a sick fish, I also added 3 Tablespoons to my tank.  Its a 33 Gallon.  I just noticed last night that my java fern has all turned brown and rotted, just since I've done this.  What has caused it, the Pimafix or the salt?

That was 3 tablespoons of aquarium salt, btw.

Fish medication will not be very nice to plants. It is best to remove the fish into a separate tank with fresh treated water the.

I have not had trouble with salt, I am guessing that it is the other meds

Thanks, I'll know better next time

java fern, java moss as well as anubias can tollerate salt and are often the only plants you see in brackish tanks.

my java ferns went brown and nasty when I treated with salt.  I thought they would be fine, now I'd never leave 'em in there while treating.
