I fear my Betta hasn't healed from fin rot

[ToOthleSS04]

My Betta, Sakura, has been infected by fin rot when I was out for vacation. I noticed he missed a, literally, a strip of the caudal fin like if someone cut it off. Desperate, i went to my local fish store, and the guy there (which is really nice) gave me a medication which was not for sale, that would kill bacteria, viruses and fungi. Instantly i put it into the water and started to melt on the bottom. Now, that strip has gone, I think he's healing, but I still see some transparent borders, especially at the end of the tail. I think I bought him like this, but I'm so preoccupied

Transparent or translucent edges will be regrowth. It's a good sign...

What was the name of the med that he gave you that is not for sale? Just curious....I try to keep up on meds of all kinds, even those that are not easily accessible or only available to labs or universities.

Your betta is very beautiful, by the way!!! Just stunning!

It looks like Sera products are mostly herbal, at least the ones on their web site are. If it works, that's great! I would rather use natural or bontanical-type substances over real antibiotics. Better for the fish in the long run.
