Out of my two new bettas he's the one that doesn't swim as much as the other and his fins are down most of the time. Is using [URL="http
All I can say is that I've used the medication you're currently using before and it really does absolutely nothing. It's pretty much a sham. Hey
I would make sure to do a full water change in the tank and make sure to keep it spotless. My next suggestion would be to take out all of the gravel and decorations from the tank so that the organism that causes velvet has nothing to stick to. Try adding a little bit of aquarium salt and putting your fish into a darkened room after doing this. The darker atmosphere will help destress your betta. Make sure to feed him stuff like frozen peas/brine shrimp/blood worms. The healthier the food, the faster he'll get better.
As far as meds go, one of the suggested treatment for velvet seems to be copper sulphate. I really have no idea how you'd get a hold of that or how to treat the fish with it.
If you live near a downtown area, there's a huge chance that there will be a little local fish store that can sell you the correct treatment for your fish. If you really are that far away from any pet store, then I'd suggest keeping up with the current medication for the off-chance that it might work until you can figure out something else.
Hoping for the best!

. I bought aquarisol from the petstore, and let me tell you their bettas looked horrible. They had one huge tank with dividers One had just the head left and this lobster-crab looking thing was eatting it from outside of its divider.. it made me sick to my stomach. But um anyway the medicine said to add 12 drops per 10 gallon so I added 1 to 1 gallon of spring water cause it was too hard for me to count out 1.2 drops, along with aquarium salt, and equlizer. I washed my fish tanks and plants and everything else in water. My fish seemed kinda weird in it till I let them flare in it, then they started swimming around. They ate their pallets but looked a bit mopy so I added 1 blood worm each, I only feed them 4 pallets (2 in the morning 2 in the evening) instead of 6 so I think it's ok. They seemed happier after that.. and when I woke up..
. He was the sickest one to begin with. Now though Yang's hardly blowing bubbles even though he was the one making more before >_<.
