Hi, Iām new here but am in need of help.
I have had a betta fish for a couple months now but I believe he may be suffering with fin rot.
Iāve removed all ornaments so donāt believe he has ripped his fins.
I have tried partial and full water changes.
We have a closed filter system so I donāt believe he will be getting caught in this.
I was advised by the aquatic store to use melafix but saw no improvement and after five days found some info saying itās detrimental to bettaās so did a full water change.
We have no other fish that could damage him and after much observation I donāt believe he is damaging himself.
He now been put into a 7l quarantine tank (heās usually in a 30l tank) with fresh treated water.
Iām unsure of the next steps, please help!!!
I will attach photos of him on purchase and him currently.
He is still eating and responding to us. Although, he sometimes lies on the bottom of the tank and appears lethargic.
