Did anyone try using salt to alleviate the stress? (Osmotic balance). Wild fish really stress out in artificial settings.

Salt works wonders for me. I don't get morts, morbidity, parasites, or any other problems (knock on wood) when I move fish with 0.5 percent saliinity, dip in 3.0 % salinity (as soon as they lose equilibrium take them out), and keep the fish at 0.2 percent salinity indefinitely in my tank systems.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
