BAT Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I have been treating my betta for fin rot. I was using kanamycin and salt (1 tbsp: 1 gallon) and then added Maracyn 2 because I read that minocycline can be synergistic with kanamycin for possible resistance. This fish has been treated twice in past 8 mos with kanamycin. The temp is 81F. Water parameters 0 amm/0 nitrite/ 10-15 nitrate anyway, i noticed white spots on his side today. See pic. Should i treat for ich? Unfortunately i leave on vacation tomorrow. So dont have anyone to remove the water and retreat when i am gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscusLover Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Its not really a clear picture so i can not really tell but your nitrates is a bit high so I recommend doing a water change before you go on your trip and if you just noticed it, it might be stress ich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anitstuk Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I agree with @ryan1. Drop the nitrates to give your Betta the best chance of surviving while you are on vacation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friller Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Do a 50% water change, feed him and go. Fish can go a week without food easily, sure the might have seen better days, but they should survive. One exception is fry though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Need to see more photos or a video for any sort of a clear ID on what's going on. Please let us know: -Filtration -All parameters you can test for -Temperature On 8/3/2022 at 4:06 PM, BAT said: anyway, i noticed white spots on his side today. See pic. I see the spots you're talking about, I just need to see a bit more clearly and to see the fin rays themselves to check for ich as well. What meds do you have on hand to treat this?
