My female imported betta has some gill problems along with nipped fins but i'm more concerned about the gill. I've had her for several weeks, the flared gill just happened recently.

It's her left gill, and it just stays opened, as if one side is "flaired" all the time.

This poped up yesterday and I am treating it with the blue stuff (a betta remedy in the shape of a fish) and aquarium salt.

She seems to act the same (not lethargic),maybe not as energetic as my boy but lively.

Changed the water 75% two nights ago and about 50% earlier this week.

When i received her in the mail she had a white bearded thing growing that was cured by the blue meds in the plastic bottle in the shape of a fish. She was treated for that for about 5 days.

Any good suggestions?

She also has nipped fins (she nipped them i think in transport and then when i had the old divider the male snuck over and tried to pursue her. He nipped her fins. They look like they are healing from the salt, but i'm not sure if there is anything else i can do for her:

I hate bumping, but i'd really like a response from a seasoned betta owner

Look at my thread (i'll bump it) what do you think of this new fella and tell me if her beard is like Kai's beard, again this has been out permanently, but both sides - I got him thursday and am concerned about him too.
 
I hate to double post but there is more than one person on the board with this problem. Can someone please answer and tell us what the solution to getting rid of the parasite(s) that are harming our fish?
