Hi I'm new to this website and I have a couple of questions to make. My betta has fin rot and I noticed it a month ago. I treated him with Betta Fix and it didn't work, I noticed one of his fins started to curl so I tried using AQ salt. I used it for about 2 weeks before i noticed that his bottow fin is starting to rot as well. I just bought some Maracyn 2 to treat the fin rot because I've heard it really does the job. So I was going to ask how do you guys recommend treating fin rot with AQ salt and Maracyn 2.
I have a 2.7 gallon tank with filter and heater.
