Fish rot emergency

[amy.dee]

Hello everyone,

Kinda panicking, had a female beta fish for about 4 weeks now and has seemed happy and healthy until now. Just noticed her fins are sparse and seem decayed. She is not moving much at all. I have no spare tank or filter or heater as one is coming in the next few weeks. What should I do please help. They live in a 60 gallon tank with one other beta fish and some Dalmatian mollies.

Hi, did you test for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? If so what were the exact readings?

What is your GH level? You can find this info on your local water providers website.

How often do you do water changes and how much water do you change each time?

How long was the tank set up? How long have you had the fish?

Do a 75% water change every day for the next 2 weeks

Any chance of some pictures of all the fish, including the sick one?

Have you added anything new to the tank in the last 2 weeks?

How often and how do you clean the filter?

Fin rot is most often bacterial, often the result of poor water quality. Increasing your volume/frequency of partial water changes will go far in ensuring against current and future issues. You may need a med for fin rot. Read this
