Best Medication for Fin Rot?

[Wed]

My Mom and I will be making a trip to Petsmart tomorrow to by my Betta a new and bigger tank but I think it make look like he has some fin rot. His fins arent all nice and pretty :( I was thinking about asking the Petsmart employees but they probably dont know what they're talking about so whats the best medication out there for fin rot? and is there anything that is a combining treatment for fin rot +more? or would just buying aquarium salt be good?

Jungle Fungus Eliminator is good for finrot.

I'm a fan of holistic methods when ever possible. For any scaled fish I use salt bath + water change + melafix, or ion the case of anabantids (labyrinth breathers) use bettafix which is the same as melafix, but a lower dosage that will not damage their labyrinth

I have never needed anything but that for fin rot, except on scaleless fish that can not have salt baths.

Thanks for the advice on finrot DQ

Ampicillin, again lol

Maracyn2 and MaracynTC in combination with aqua salt worked good for our betta. Arrested the fin rot and got his color back. You may have to administer more than 1 cycle depending on how bad the situation is.

thanks everybody.

i was able to buy a Bettafix, that was the only thing i saw at the Petco i went to and i also bought legit aquarium salt lol im getting his new 4 gallon tank later today so he'll be getting a water change. is it ok to put in both the bettafix and salt together or should i just use one at a time?

If you are planning on doing a salt bath then do that separate. If you are just adding some salt to the tank, then salt and bettafix are fine together.

just incase u dont see my other post:

i just put my betta in his new 4 gallon tank and it looks like he is having trouble swimming with the filter. the filter seems to pull him towards it and he has a hard time getting away from it. idk if i should take it away or jus leave it because its normal? i doubt he has ever been in a filtered tank lol so any suggestions please?

neeeeevermind...i jus realized theres a low and high switch on the filter[:

rookie mistake
