Thank you! I have the Indian almond leaf in the tank now, I forgot to mention that. I'll try the food recipe and see if that helps! Thank you!

Hi, as an update, I did the full course of maracyn, then waited a couple weeks to see if it helped. It didn't seem to make a difference, so then i tried ich-x. I did that for 5 days with the daily water changes but Flippy's fins got worse so I stopped. It's been 2 weeks since then and he has gotten progressively worse. His fins are starting to turn grey towards their ends and are looking more raggedy. Do you have any ideas about what to do next? Is there a stronger anti biotic I could try? I'm at a loss as to what to do. Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks, will do!

Thanks very much for your help. Also, do you have any idea what the pockmarking could be or is it too hard to see in the photos?

Thank you very much for the advice and the quick response! I'll continue on with the same water then, leaving the ich-x in it, until a water change. The only question is whether the water change should be day 6, per the box instructions, or day 7, per the sources mentioned in my first post. Maybe it doesn't matter, but I'm afraid to mess it up!

The ph is 7.8. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are all 0 ppm. I've attached some photos. It's hard to see the marks on his head clearly, unfortunately. Thanks so much.

Hi all, I am a brand new (2 months) fish mom, so still learning everything. Bear with me please! My betta has fin rot and also some pock marking that is spreading over his head. I am following the advice over at https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/faqs/how-to-use-quaratine-med-trio and the video how to cure fin rot the easy way https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wICf_0o6ys4 and using a maracyn and ich-x combo. I have Flippy in a 5g tank. I started the medicine today, using 1/2 tsp ich-x and 1/2 packet maracyn. Going forward is that it for the medicine, just let him sit in it for 7 days or do I add more tomorrow (or any other day)? I'm also nervous about not feeding him for seven days. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
