I wanna get the best

[sweet_tinuviel]

Ok I need to buy some water dechlorinator, stress coat, silk plant for tank, and medication to help treat fin rot,

Whats the best
What works best???
What kind of plants for half gallon betta bowls
Can I use live plants with these bowls, ( no filtration, no nothing)???
Whats the best meds for fin rot, Ive tried betta fix no luck??

i have 2 bettas each with their own half gallon betta tank, glass or marble rocks which ever, ( cause i thought that regular gravel was tearing their fins) still not working. each has a little silk plant. should i put more plants if so what kind. I only put one each togive room to swim.
I also add half teaspoon salt each water change and i do 100% water changes every 3 day so the ammonium hopefull wouldnt be the problem. Should i buy the stuff to rid the tank of ammonium too??

Help tell me whats best for my set up

much thanks to all

You can get any dechloriator as long as it removes heavy metals as well as chlorine/chlormine.

As for plants, just buy a silk plant, as live plants will rot and foul the tanks water because you have no light.

For fin rot (I'm not too sure as for meds), but I use Indian Almond Leaf (what it is commonly called in the US) and you can *usually* (no guarentees) pick it up at your local health food shop. Just place about a 6cm * 8cm piece in your tank and let it stew until you change the water. It will go a brown "tea" colour, this is normal.

As for salt, you should just keep adding that amount of rock or aquarium salt. You should buy an ammonia (that's what it is called) test kit and check the water - when it reaches 0.5ppm aprox. that is when you should change the water, but from my experience 100% water change every three days is fine.

PS: Is english your first language?
