A little research suggests that Pimafix and Melafix at 1/5 dosage will be safe. Isolate and Medicate, hon.

My research indicates that fin rot is the visible effect of a fungal &/or bacterial infection, so QT'ing the little guy is a good idea. I moved a cory to the hospital tank when he developed fin rot last week. None of the other fishes are showing signs of having 'caught' it... If it's even contagious. However by isolating him, I'm only medicating one fish as needed rather than the whole tank.
If your betta's solo, I'd do the tank cleaning and pwc now, use the Pimafix and Melafix at 1/5 the dosage for 7 days then a 20% pwc. Rinse and repeat until symptoms are gone.

he's just with some ghost shrimp. I wonder if I can just treat him in there with salt or Bettafix?? I think Bettafix is safe for inverts as well as melafix and pimafix ??
