Okay! Then I’ll order right now, the directions do advise me to do regular water changes esp before the medication, and that way I can get the salt out. Should I do a big water change at the end of the treatment? Because I couldn’t find what to do after.

Thank you guys so much! I appreciate the advice and expertise on the situation after so long (: do you suggest I wait a few weeks before I try the kanaplex and Furan-2? Or just as soon as I can? I looked up and found some directions on how to use the two as a combo treatment, I just need to...

Hi everyone! Hope you all are doing well :) Just another update since my last post: I have taken Itachi out of his MB bath after 4 weeks and daily water changes. I will admit, between those 4 weeks I skipped the daily water changes 3 times due to a tight schedule. During each week I checked in...

I find it helpful documenting everything on here, so I am just updating on my fish. The last two weeks were pretty busy so I was not able to do as many water changes as I intended to. But now that my busy weeks have settled a bit I have more time to treat him again. He still has the little...

Thank you so much! Sorry for responding so late :) But that is very sweet to hear! And yes I definitely agree with you on that, if I need to go into that option I will totally reach out

Interesting to note! I didn't know that certain bettas have better luck! I have not have not seen the full size of my betta's fins yet but I hope to at one point and keep them healthy. About the hydrogen peroxide, I have seen videos about that but I am a little skeptical of moving on to big...

I haven't head issues with the water parameters last time I checked before treating him. But idk it probably has just been progressing over time ever since I got him in October. I am still positive and hopeful I will heal this guy. Glad your fish's fin grew back! Crazy how water parameters can...

Nooo unfortunately his fins look the same and I still see slight fuzz. I normally do the same water change schedule as you, change water vac the gravel and wipe the sides once a week, change the filter and rinse decor in old water once a month. But I will probably do it twice a week instead of...

Update on my fish so far: Itachi seems happier in his new tank, he seems to have missed being in a bigger heated tank. Although his fins have no changes what so ever, his wounds have been looking way better after scratching himself in the MB treatment. Maybe the salt is helping more with that. I...

Hi! I am so sorry to hear about your guppies! I hope you get some more experienced help as well. Maybe you could try the steps I have taken (looking at previous advice from this thread) I heard salt treatments, methylene blue treatments and frequent water changes are supposed to do wonders most...

@Colin_T Welcome back sir! Please help me if you can whenever you get the chance :S

How often do you guys suggest I should change the water for his tank? I'm thinking definitely upping it for his healing but idk how much/how often since he has been having daily water changes in his bath.

Thank you! I will always appreciate the extra support (: I do not believe I have heard of that product before, but I do have kanaplex/kanamyacin on hand which is supposed to be good for fin rot and bacterial type stuff. I don't think I will be using that at this time, but if I see anything go...

Hello everyone! I just cleaned Itachi's original tank thoroughly and gave his decor a little rinse. I added an almond leaf and some aquarium salt into his tank to hopefully help his healing and maybe start promoting regrowth. Not sure if his fin rot is entirely gone yet but I will monitor him...

I am considering taking him out of the MB tomorrow, do we think that would be appropriate to do now?

Exactly, that is my confusion as well. Because I see in some places that I should be seeing regrowth and improvement in the fins while in the MB and some saying that'll come after. Who knows! I do know that MB will kill the fungal infection and the fuzzy stuff went away the day before I put him...

No no I totally understand! Obviously everyone is busy and have a lot going on in their lives at this time so I wouldn't want to impose at all. Thank you so much though :) I wouldn't say he has gotten worse, just the same. He can't really do a whole lot in that tiny thing haha. But everything...

@Colin_T Pls help me lol I am such a noob

Hey guys! I am keeping my fishy in the hospital tank with methylene blue for another week since I still do not know what I should be doing at this very moment. I do hope that something miraculous happens this week haha but so far no changes! :/

@Colin_T seems really popular around here, so sorry to bother you more Colin! It has been a week now so I am still unsure of what my next steps should be. If you or anyone else has any advice for me I would love to hear (: Sorry for constantly bothering ya'll!

Is it safe to maybe do another week? Will that benefit in anyway?

Hi everyone! I am updating as tomorrow marks one week of Itachi being in methylene blue. I am feeling really confused right now because everywhere I look I see that I am supposed to be seeing improvement. But idk what that entails, like improvement while he is in the treatment or does it come...

You might be a little behind bud, I am using methylene blue at the moment lol.

So the scars on his face look better now, I do not see any signs of major improvement yes, but he does not look any different from the earlier pictures so not sure. He is kind of being lazy and not as active because he probably hates being in there lol. Am I supposed to see improvement in his...

It is so relieving to hear that! I am glad you had success! Yes it has definitely been a journey in catering to illnesses I don't have the most experience in but I do enjoy the learning processes and staying positive is key :) Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement, it definitely...

Awwe! Thank you :) This means so much, and it definitely makes me feel a lot better. I am actually heading into medicine so the inner doctor in me is very deeply involved when it comes to treating and helping lives. I am very emotionally invested in that little guy. Researching and learning from...

Ok so Itachi started his methylene blue treatment today in his 1/2 gallon tank with an air pump in there. I moved the air pump to the middle now because in the past 2 hours of him being in this solution he has wedged himself in the corner and has gotten stuck. In the process of jumping out to be...

Thank you sooo much @Colin_T !! You guys are the best (: Really means a lot that you took time out of your day to help me save my fish! I will start this as soon as I get the treatment in his 1/2 QT tank next week. Do you think I will see improvement by the end of the week? I will definitely...

@JuiceBox52 do you by chance have any suggestions for methylene blue treatments?

I ordered a methylene blue bottle from amazon, the brand was called Kordon I believe. When it does arrive shall I do methylene blue dips or some other method?

Omg! That makes me even more sad!! :( Poor baby I definitely want to help him get better if that is really the case. His energy or eating as never changed but I do want to make him super healthy again. If anyone knows any methylene blue treatments out there or methods that have worked please let...

Aww I am so glad your fishy got better! Unfortunately for me I have been doing exactly as you did, same gallon tank, same temperature, same salt, redosed after 75% water changes, wiping the sides and gravel vacuuming but this seems very persistent :( I feel horrible sitting at my desk everyday...
