So I don't understand this...
I have a ten gallon tank, it is heated to 78 degrees, It is filtered, cycled and the parameters are fine I just checked it.
He has fin rot it appears, it just keeps getting worse. I treated with Melafix for about 2 weeks but stopped because I heard that it can be bad for bettas. I used it in a half dose and all seemed well. I don't understand it. He still has at least half of his fin - more actually. But it just is not healing no matter how much I change the water.
So I guess my question is... what do I do? I want to medicate him with something that will fix the fin rot, but something that will not destroy my biological cycle...
Oh here is the funny thing, it is a divided ten gallon, one betta had fin rot and is now healing from it, while the other keeps on getting worse. How fast should they heal? Mine is healing really slow... but he is still healing....
I will put up pictures asap. Any help at all would be really appreciated! I don't know what to do. He seems fine aside from the rot. :C
