Please help me with my sick betta. Barney has been sick for a few days even though I have been treating him with BettaFix. I had him in a ten gallon tank with 5 danios, 4 platies, and a cory cat fish. I was told the danios would get along with the Betta, but they turned out to be fin nippers. By the time I discovered it my poor betta's fins were ragged and had some kind of fungus on them. I put BettaFix and Betta Complete Water Conditioner in a gallon jar with 3 quarts of water in it and put poor Barney in it hoping that he would get well. He no longer has fungus on his fins, (the parts with fungus on them fell off), but he has what looks like fungus around his mouth and on his head. The spots are white but don't look like they're as fuzzy as the fungus on his fins was. Barney is not eating and is lethargically hanging out at the top of his jar. I know this is a holiday, but if there is anyone out there reading this, please give me some advice as soon as possible. I bought some Melafix, but have not put any of it in his jar as the directions are for a ten gallon tank. What should I do to heal poor Barney Betta? The ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are all at 0 in his jar. The PH is a little low at 6.0.
