Oh No! My Betta Tore His Fins. How Do I Prevent Fin Rot?

Well, I'm sure putting the salt directly in the water won't do nothing. Next time dissolve it first just to be safe. :) And doing a 100% water change shouldn't happen if your water is healthy, but because he got hurt you want to make sure there is no bacteria in the water that would infect him. It won't mess up the filter, just make sure you rinse the filter inthe old tank water so the good bacterias won't die. :)

Actually, he can burn himself on the salt if he comes in contact with it, so be sure to dissolve it or put it in a container with a lid and holes in it to make sure he doesn't get hurt.
