I'll be using Melafix and salt but first I wanted to know if that combination will cause any problems for the pygmy cories and otos that are in the tank. Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I you must remove the Betta and treat seperatly and there would no problem at all. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Might be safest to quarentine the betta for treatment. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
