Epsom Salt Dosage

I think my betta is constipated.... (either that or he's got a tumor. He's got another lump on his side that's completely separate from the swelling that's between and underneath his pectoral fins.)

I'd like to dose him with Epsom Salt. Never used this stuff before, but I've read of dosages being from 1 teaspoon per 10 gallons to 2 tablespoons per 10 gallons.

How much should I use for 1 betta, 6 cardinal tetras, 1 small trapdoor snail and some MTS? That's if I dose the whole tank...or should I prepare a seperate short-term dip for the betta alone?

The tank is 10 gallons, well planted.

And are snails sensitive to epsom salt? I have plenty of MTS in the brackish tank, but maybe I should move the trapdoor snail?

thanks
