I did do that! https://www.fishforums.net/threads/betta-fish-unwell.479144/ Thank you!!

Hi everyone I am reposting since my last thread was quite some time ago. If you need context please see: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/betta-fin-rot-desperate-for-help.461247/ But now my betta Itachi who I got in 2019 isn't doing so great. His tail has almost completely receded and is...

Hi guys! Its been a long time My fish who battled fin rot multiple times from the day I got him at the store (October 2019) has beat the odds and has stayed a happy swimming fish despite never growing his fins back. Thanks to all your guys' help on this thread. However recently I noticed his...

Hi everyone! Its been quite a few months since I have done any updates for you guys. Last time I tried everything desperately such as tank upgrade, almond leaves, salt, water changes, kanamyacin and furan-2, methylene blue, you name it! I checked water parameters, found nothing significant. I...

Hey I am so sorry for responding late! My fish is still here and happy but his fin rot was never fixed. They never grew back I notice somedays the fuzzy stuff comes back and the fins seem like they are rotting a little but then it goes away after another consistent water change, filter change...

Hi guys! I am staying on top of water changes and just taking care of him as usual. But does any one have any further ideas for stubborn fin rot? Can I try kanaplex again in a few weeks? What are my options?

I will check back once I get the pH down :) until then no meds for him. @Ch4rlie do you think it would best to wait it out before considering meds again?

Thank you!Is everything else within limits for a betta? In case I am missing the requirements. Hopefully more almond leaves and pH testing, maybe an extra pH lowering solution if necessary will help him. I’ll bring it down, monitor with clean water and maybe some salt?

Hi everyone, I just completed a water test on betta’s tank and wanted to share. So I totally believe my pH is completely off, the ammonia in the tank seems maybe slightly up I can’t really tell. I’m assuming that’s from the rounds of antibiotics he had that killed some bacteria. But fear not i...

I do agree with you all that I should check into my water soon since all the meds could affect my cycle and parameters. I’ll keep you guys updated (: and we can go from there. Thank you so much :D

Nope that’s the one I ordered! Sorry I didn’t mean to say strips, I already had this kit but I don’t know where I put it anymore lol. But yeah that’s exactly what I got. Also @Deanasue well then I’m not really sure what other meds I could possible try at this point. I’m very new at this. I guess...

based on this information, would maracyn and maracyn 2 be okay to use after a break? (Also I ordered some more testing strips)

No problem! I’m looking based on two months ago what I have in my notes. temperature: 78 Ammonia and nitrite: 0 Nitrate: pH: 7.0 I’ll probably check again soon while he takes a break from meds I have a ton of recent pictures posted on the previous page of this thread!

Hi everyone. @Ch4rlie @Deanasue. So I have had this fish for a year now, and learned from this thread that my fish has been dealing with fin rot ever since I got him and I had never really realized when I bought him. Nevertheless I still love him lots and once I started learning more and...

Hi everyone! So tomorrow is the final dose of round 2. Still no improvements or any changes. I’m so frustrated with this fin rot because I really can’t understand how it’s so unchanged and persistent at this point. I feel like a lot of money has been spent but with no worth so far. :( i know...

Thank you for the articles! I took a look at them and I do believe that if this treatment combo works a break and erythromycin would be beneficial, the article mentioned that they prefer the mardel brand over the API these days so I might look more into that. And of course if that fails I can...

youre literally my rock in this entire situation. I can’t thank you enough for continuing to respond for so long and give me so much encouragement and positivity. Cheers to you (: I will continue the treatment I suppose. Also weird note overnight that tear On his lower fin took a photograph of...

Does anyone think he might benefit from a round 2? He seems to be taking medication pretty well, almost like it as no effect on him at all lol.

Hi again! Here is day 3 and day 4 updates of the kanaplex furan 2 treatment. I’m really sad because I don’t see any improvement in fact it looks like the fin rot is still possibly there, and there is a tear in The middle of his bottom big fin that wasn’t there yesterday. :/ I read in the...

Hi guys! Thank you so much for the advice and suggestions! Luckily the Furan-2 arrived the next day and I started him on that and kanaplex immediately yesterday. I’m just following the directions I found online to combine the medication. I am gonna post pictures of his fins throughout the week...
