Good medication?

Does anyone have any experience with this medication the active ingredients are Nitrofurazone and Potassium Dichromate. I will be using it to treat a Betta for fin rot.

This will not cure fin rot, this only cleary helps fungus. Theres an underlying reason why our betta has finrot. Most the time you dont need to medicate, only daily WCs , aquarium salt and Tannin extract can help. Fin rot is caused by poor water quatily every time.

What are your recent water parameters ? Tank size and full stocking? Can you provide a photo of his fin rot to confirm its not fin nipping as well.

I have no experience with that medication but generally most cases of fin rot can be cured without medication. It generally will start with an injury of some sort then water quality will come into play which less than ideal water quality will encourage fin rot.

Unless its a REALLY severe case I don't medicate. I just do daily or every other day water only changes. This will encourage fin healing and regrowth. I would also put a couple extra indian almond leaves in the tank. I personally don't use aquarium salt ever but others do.

Thank you for all this info. Sorry my original post was inaccurate. I have been treating my betta for fin rot for about a month with water changes and aquarium salt. It was almost cleared up when a secondary fungal infection set in. I just wanted to know if any one had had any bad experience with this medication.
