so i just got my meds yesterday and it is bettafix and im using it to treat fin rot.
i moved my fish from a 2 gall tank and put him in a 1/2 gal tank.
but now,HIS FINS ARE COMING OFF LIKE CRAZY.
the med isnt working like i thought it would.....should i go out and buy different meds?when i looked at reviews some were good and some were bad,so i dont know.
it says add to water for 7 day then change water....today is the second day and i already added it...if you need a pic here it is....
btw he is not a crowntail.
its only been 8 months ever since i got him and i dont want him to die....

betta fix has always worked for me... make sure there are no sharp egdes on the decorations too... how many drops are you putting in?

What has worked for me is 100% daily water changes and I would see improvement within 3-4 days

But if no improvement after 4 days-I add aquarium salt 1tsp/gal along with 100% daily water changes for 10 days.

I pre-mix my salt 1tsp and 1g of water in a clean 1g jug (milk jug) to make daily dosage and water changes easier.

IAL (Indian almond leaf) or oak leaf steep in the pre-mixed salt water jug is also good to use.... with or without salt.

I also like to keep my water temp in the 76F area and feed a high protein diet of small frequent feeding while treating to inhibit bacterial growth (temp) and promote healing (protein)
