Betta has finrot

[bunjiweb]

Hi,

My lovely betta seems very happy although he seems to have a little finrot developing

I have started treating him with Myxazin, removing 2 litres of water, then getting 2 litres of fresh water and adding a couple of drops of the chemical.

He doesnt seem to be getting better though, does it usually take a few weeks to heel or what?

I heard salt works is this correct?

Any other tips on combating finrot appreciated.

Ok now i am confused maybe he doesn't

I am colourblind so i find colour-specific infections and diseases hard to diagnose.

Should i stop the Myxazin treatment or not?

Here are the latest pictures of him what do you think?

it looks to me like there's a little bit of finrot on his tail....not sure whether or not you should continue the treatment though. (i'm still newto betta riasing) but yea i'd say that's finrot..

Looks like early stages but yeah, I would treat it to be safe.

Personally I think he looks good. I don't see any black tips at all in fact i see new growth which is the anti-fin rot. There is especially new growth on his tail fin look closely in the first picture. I think that it is probably his colouring as the tips are white not black. Keep his water clean add some salt and I think he will be alright. I don't know about the severity of the treatment you are using... personally i would go with Bettamax as it has done wonders for my fin rot when it is just mild and i want to encourage tail growth. Good Luck he is a beautiful fish.
