FIN ROT
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2011 9:29 pm
Have a long going case of fin rot in both tanks. I've been using Kana pro, Ruby Reef, and though they do get better, it seems that it's going downhill again. I want to know what you folks use for fin rot, and yes, we are keeping those tanks PRISTINE (ugh, i read an article that your fish tank water should be clean enough to DRINK....not that you'd want to ) and that is a huge issue of it. I want to eventually put my current Betta in the big tank, but it's so riddled with fin rot that I won't take the chance til it's gone....he's got it in his OWN tank as well, so definitely not moving him anyway.
Advice for FIN ROT meds would be awesome.
We also have a tetracycline med pack but what are your thoughts on using it? We used a smaller dose the one time we actually used it, and it foamed our entire aquarium with two inches of disgusting brown foam on the surface, and all the fish were really stressed out by it; we discontinued the treatement for fear of losing already sick fish. That was a while back; but I'd be willing to try again.
