So Sebastian was swimming happily before I went to have a shower. When I got back ~45 minutes later, his dorsal fin had colapsed and a hole had appeared near the base, smack in the middle of his fin. I immediately pt him in a smaller tank (0.8 gallon) with 1tsp/gallon AQ salt for the time being...

My blue betta has a white patch on his body at the base of his dorsal fin. It started out weeks ago the size of a pin-head and is now nearly the size of my pinky nail. I have done courses of Fungus Eliminator, Tetracycline, Ampicillin, and Triple sulfa. NOT at the same time :-?, but...
