My betta fish recently contracted fin rot unfortunately, so I began treating him. Iām kinda new to keeping bettas btw, but I started treating him with API fungus cure. It contains malachite green and acriflavine. I also have a nerite snail, so to be safe, I put him in another container which Iām unable to keep warm. I was wondering if malachite green was safe for nerite snails? I researched and found out acrifalvine is safe for them, Iām just unsure about malachite green. Iām also thinking about starting an aquarium salt treatment as well. Please let me know if you have any better options or any suggestions for anything I mentioned please! Iām sorry if this is vague also, Iām kinda stressed out with this. Please reply ASAP!

Nitrites, nitrate, and ammonia are both 0. pH is 8.0, although itās always been like that and itās hard to get down. Besides that, everything else is within the safe range. My fish and snail live in a five gallon tank, too. Thanks!
