How often should I change water for my betta's salt treatment?

Question

I bought aquarium salt for my betta fish. How many times should I do a water change for his treatment? Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male | 6 months and 7 days old

The frequency of water changes depends on how many fish you have in the tank with your betta, how large the tank is (i.e. how many gallons it is), how often you are feeding (more frequent feedings often results in more wasted food and more poop, so it can dirty the tank more quickly), and if you have any live plants present. The amount of salt that is needed also depends on whether you are adding salt just for maintenance or if you are treating your fish for stress or disease. My advice would be to get all of this information and contact your local pet store or aquarium store as they can then help to guide you on these specifics. Alternatively, you can gather all of this information and I can also do a consultation with you as well, whichever is easiest/most convenient for you.
