jaydawnsin Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 So I've been treating my betta with maracyn because he had a lot of bacterial stuff going on, he's getting better, moving around more, but he's still slightly pinecone-y, something I'm 98% sure is dropsy. He also had fin rot, I think it's stopped at this point, I'm starting to see the fins grow back a little. I fell into that cycle of not checking the water and got busy and this happened, 100% my fault, I'm just trying to fix it. I've gone through a full round of maracyn but I have a problem. I only have 3 packets of maracyn left and he most likely needs one more full 5 packet round of it. He's in a 10 gallon hospital tank, I don't get paid till Thursday, what do yall suggest I do? I can't pick it up locally, no one here carries it. Do the regimen as instructed until I run out and hope for the best, is there another medicine that's more readily available that's comparable? Should I wait a week until I have more of the medicine ordered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 You can use maracyn2 or Kanaplex add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons that will help reduce the fluid buildup that causes the pineconing your seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
