Fin Rot Treatment Caused Burns On Betta?

[Novice betta owner!]

Hi All,

i have numerous problems with my Betta, just recently he has had fin rot i used an interpet over the counter fin rot treatment (i live in the UK) and over the past week he has really perked up.

he has had a 30% water change today and further application of treatment and over the past 6 hours his tail has become bloodied and he is lethargic and resting at the top of the tank.

I have taken about a fith of the water away and replaced with conditioned water incase he has been overwhelmed by the treatment.

Any ideas?

Sorry to hear your Betta is unwell. I too have experienced problems with finest....I have lost all my betas to it. Unfortunately Betta don't seam to go well with the treatment. The best way to get rid of it is to perform 25% water changes every day for over a month....get a good stock of tap safe in and try this. Many of the people on here have had great success with this method. I have been unlucky, but give it a try. Also put almond leaves and a small amount of aquarium salt in the water to ward off infection in future. X
