However, you should certainly NOT use iodized table salt OR sea salt. there is special aquarium salt for that. and it's usually used at about a table spoon or so per 5 gallons. actually a little bit of salt IS good for most all scaled freshwater fish. it kills bacteria.

Also, it is only done in extreme cases if the fish has a disease, usually a common form of scale-fungus or parasites. There is medication for this. So dont just go dropping your fish in some kitchen salt "just to invigorate it" because most likely it will die.
