Possibly. Not every type of aquarium fish is suited to high-mineral environments as can be attained by using American Cichlid Salt™. Research your fish to know what mineral concentration (GH) they prefer and replicate that environment as much as possible. Additionally, many fish, plants, and invertebrates are stressed by sudden high-percentage water changes and shifts in water parameters. We recommend to alter GH slowly and keep water changes to 30% of the tank or less. More sensitive tank inhabitants will do better with smaller, more frequent water changes and slower alterations of water parameters.
