Well I did not mean not to post this but while I was trying not to post a lot I was also dealing with a sick little betta. Blaze started to show some symptoms of finrot late last week and we started him on The Jungle Labs Tank Buddies but the second day of the treatment I got up to a lot less finny baby so we discontinued the Tank Buddies and went directly to the big guns since I do not have Maracyn2 on hand. I started him on penicillin which I know blows it for me using it again on him but one more time, but his fins were disappearing fast and I skipped some steps. I guess I have been hearing about the finrot cases on the forum and wondering what is causing all this problem. The tank was cycled, the water is changed in his tank 50% twice a week and he is a clean little fish. Plus he never sleeps on the gravel, always in the bridge. Well I took him away from his beloved bridge and put him in the hospital tank or q tank which meant taking little Nate out and adding him to the big tank WAY early. So then I decided to move Nate into the new 12 gallon with the Cories and when Blaze gets out of his hospital tank he will go into the heavily planted tank that the Loaches and Tuck are in.
The penicillin has pretty much done its job. He still has a couple of blue tips on his forefins, but the analfins are beginning to regenerate already. He still has some days to go with the treatment but he seems to be doing okay so far.
