noob betta breeder here. i haf 1 suffering from fin rot. how do i cure him?

and it seems he has fungus growing on it's body too. i tried using white spot medicine but it doesn't seem to be working much.

i'm more concerned about the fin rot. what's the medicine i should ask for at the fish shop?

anti chlorine, untreated salt & melafix. check!

hey guys, my 2 months old betta (2 months since i bought it la) suddenly today showed symptoms of fin rot. so i quickly went n change the water. put salt, anti chlorine n all.

but now, within a couple of hours. it's conditions changed drastically to the worst. it's whole body is turning pale n it's just floating around at the bottom of the tank. what's wrong with it?

i'm quite saddened about this. i think it's not going to make it pass the night.

just a few minutes after this, it died. sigh...

i suspect fin rot wasn't it's actual cause of death. it's fin did not rot away much but the entire body turned pale.

and i thought fighting fishes were the easiest exotic fishes to rare. i'm such a failure.

can it be? but the last time i changed the water was like 3-4 days ago.

yeah i suspect it was the water too. but after noticing it's sick, i immediately used Diamond filtered water n put salt n anti chlorine, but in the end mati also.

does this mean Diamond tipu us about how good bla bla healthy bla bla their filter is. haha

yeah use cooking salt....IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON COOKING YOUR BETTA coz they taste kinda bland without flavoring.

lol just kidd.

sigh, i so wanna rare betta again but after my previous experience where my 2 bettas suddenly died of unknown causes, i'm discouraged ler.

i dowanna sin any further ler. kesian the bettas only.
