EmeralDQueen Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Hi everyone, just wondering if API Bettafix or Fritz Maracyn are the same thing to cure fin rot on a betta. I think my Betta has a fin rot problem, I'm not sure but from all I've seen that is what it looks like. He used to be a Betta Moon, now his tail has grown so much that I thought that was normal, but the tail is not even anymore so that makes me think he has thin rot. Any suggestion is appreciate it. Bellow a comparison before and after so you can help me out if he is suffering form thin rot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Kind of, the only differnece is that Fritz Maracyn is more effective in my opinion. Also treat with aquarium salt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmeralDQueen Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Houston we got a another problem!!!! He constipated too ☹️ Looking a the picture I've posted here in this thread, I've notice a lump beneath his gills then when I got home went to check on him and it seemed weird so I made some research and whoala Constipation...now I have no clue how to treat that...I've read that salt could be one thing, then peas or Daphnia. Since I've been medicating him with Api Bettafix I don't know if is a good idea to mix medications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 It the fish has had no improvement with the Frist treatment I would do a water change and start on maracyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 i've seen some webpages referencing that bettafix/melafix is bad for the labyrinth organ since it has some sort of oil. Haven't seen any concrete proof, but just a thing to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
