A Case of Fin Rot

[Storm]

I thought I would post this here instead of emergencies as more betta friends might read here.

I have treated this guy with 2 rounds of diluted Melafix and now Maracyn 2. His tail fins start to heal, grow back and then get ragged again. I have him in an unfiltered but heated 2 gallon tank so I do 100% water changes every other day. Is there anything else I can be doing? I've never dealt with fin rot this stubborn before and I'm getting very frustrated!

the secret in treating fin rot is good clean water, circulation/filter, and salt plus what ever meds u use. my male gets littel cases of it once in a while, but i check him over to catch it early and melafix clears it up.

Just my opinion, but Melafix helps to heal, but doesn't cure the finrot. A salt bath, and meds for finrot should take care of it. The main thing is to keep treating for a few days, go the cycle of the med. I can't find neosulfex anymore. Iit was the best for finrot. A sulfate based med works well on finrot.
