Following 5 days of no meds and a small water change on day 5, I started Neptune on Maracyn Plus since his tail had more frayed ends. Tank also treated with AmQuel +. New water was conditioned with StressCoat. (there is also healing happening)
Water today tested as follows; 0ppm for Nitrate & Nitrite; .25 ppm Ammon, and PH is 7.2. I tested the treated water ( not in tank) it was PH 6.6. Town water pre-treatment is 6.2.
When I first got Neptune it was advised not to treat PH with the Up & Down solutions, since bettas were good at adapting. Given that my tank is not cycled, could this PH reading have any detrimental effect on fin rot? And is it advisable to use PH Down to treat, of just leave it.
I will get the ZymBac tomorrow to get cycling on its way following this round of Maracyn Plus.
Thanks for advice. Val
