Poor Apollo...

I had gotten some live plants for his tank, (I've spoken to FLBettaCouple about it..) And on one plant, one leaf died a day, like... fell off. And then the other plant's leaves went transparent...and the ammonia was at 2! Soooooo i took out the plants and gave him a 50% water change, and his fin rot is back worse than ever. I've got him on Fungus Clear again but once this treatment is over, can anyone suggest some products that will help boost regrowth? It would be great if it was a product that's available at petsmart, or petco since i'm low on cash and don't really want to pay shipping. X_x Thanks all.

Re: Poor Apollo...

I wish they sold vitachem at those stores, but it would have to come from DFS. Local products that could help with fin regrowth would be Bettafix, NovAqua+, Stress Coat.. that and clean water.

Re: Poor Apollo...

I do already have Stress Coat. I'll look and see how much the vitachem is, and how much the shipping will be. Maybe i'll just go for it, oooorrr maybe i'll wait until the next paycheck. haha

Re: Poor Apollo...

Oh....

I read that meds will kill any bacteria that's forming... so like... biospira is pointless while on medication...right?

Will the Fungus Clear kill the bio spira that i just put in Apollo's tank? (Stupid Kellie!)

Re: Poor Apollo...

I think the Fungus Clear will eliminate the beneficial bacteria unfortunately. I could be wrong, though.

Re: Poor Apollo...

You cannot medicate with ANYTHING for 7 days after adding Bio-spira or you kill the stuff. Sorry.
