how do u treat velvet

[STEVIE00]

1 of my bettas fins r all clamped
is it possible to treat this
if it dies (just sayin if)
will i need to strip the hole tank and clean it
b4 i had another betta
cos i'm frightend a new fish would catch it
from the old one

I've had great success with Maracide and velvet on betta fry. It's good stuff.I use a bit of salt and bettamax as well.
It's always a good idea to clean the tank before you get a new fish anyway. Hopefully he'll pull through for you and you won't have to worry about that.

Hey Wuv
Speaking of salt , do you use it with your adult bettas ?. How much per gal.
I'm setting a tank up for some mailorder bettas.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure you guys have Maracide in the UK, but if not you will need something that is copper based and treats parasites.
Also,are you sure it's velvet? Have you shown a flashlight on him and noticed a golden'ish sprinkling?


KF~ No,I don't use salt.

Sorry Stevieo
Didn't mean to step on your post. I really thought some answers about salt and bettamax, might help us both ( and others ). I see my mistake. You have my apology.
Good luck with your fish.
