Mn_Rick Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 105 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jun-2004	A few weeks ago I had a post about a Betta that we saved from a LFS that had a bad case of finrot. I'm happy to say that he's getting better as you can see in the pics. The first one will be how he was when we got him, and the second is a new pic of how he is today. http://home.comcast.net/~rfpratt/Kt.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~rfpratt/KT_better.JPG Thanks for everyone that gave me some advice

Mn_Rick Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 105 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jun-2004	I took him off all meds for now. I don't want him to get ammune to them. Now he's just getting 100% water change every 1-2 days, and I'm just adding aquariun salt. He's in a 1 1/2 gal. tank now. When we were treating him he was in a 1/2 gal w/ water changes 1-2 times a day. I thought for a week or so we'd go this route, then Melafix for a week...etc. I don't want to add the JFE again unless I have to. Any tips?

ceridwen Enthusiast Posts: 270 Kudos: 296 Votes: 0 Registered: 26-Aug-2003	To me that sounds good - Melafix helps tremendously with regrowing fins. I'd use that with the salt (just what I do) and do the water changes. He's looking gorgeous! And only use JFE if it is absolutely needed - you don't want to build resistance to it
