I am pretty sure my betta has fin rot, and although I've tried treating it, it hasn't gotten better.
She is in a 2 gallon tank (and i know that's too small, but it's just a quarantine tank and I'm planning on moving her to a 15 gallon as soon as she's healthy). As for the parameters, the pH is at about 7.5-8.5 (I'm using strip tests, which I know are far from accurate, and those indicated a pH of 8.5, however the water in my city is supposed to have a ph of 7.3 and I've been using catappa leaves to try lowering the pH), the GH is at about 20, the Nitrite level is at 0 and the Nitrate at a little under 20. Also, the tempretaure is at 25°C/77°F. The tank has been running for 2 months, because she previously had columnaris and I had to separate her from my other fish. After I treated her for that her fins seemed to be getting better, but a couple of weeks ago i noticed that she had fin rot.
I tried an aquarium salt treatment for 7 days and then I waited a week but her condition isn't getting better. Should I try another treatment, and if so, what should I use?
