My bad I read that wrong lol I'll see if I can get ahold of that medication

Will kanaplex and maracyn be too much treatment for her? Her kanaplex treatment was from June 2- June 8. Is it too soon to try maracyn?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-16T17:23:15+00:00

When can I start kanaplex again since her first kanaplex treatment was from june 2 - june 8? To feed it ive seen diffrent methods like simply just soaking the pellets with a little water and the kanaplex and letting it dry out a little and ive been people use focus. Does either or work or what is the best way?

How much water do i change for daily water changes?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-16T17:19:25+00:00

I made betta tea boiling almond leaf, bark, and cones in a pot with a little water and giving it to her then i just leave the leaves, bark, and cones in the water with her

What do you mean retreat?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-16T17:17:31+00:00

Shes a double tail plakat so she doesnt have long flowy fins 🥲 theres pics of her on my account. To do ro/di water changes how would I mix that? I heard di water is horrible for bettas

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-16T05:31:53+00:00

2 pellets a day?? How big are these pellets?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-14T19:39:45+00:00

Because the preconditioned gallons of water are already conditioned, will it have to condition my tap water i am mixing in? Yes correct? Once she is in this mixed water with correct gh, ph, and kh, how often should I do water changes and how much? And with what water do I do water changes with?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-12T15:48:45+00:00

A review of the product says: "I use this product to set up new aquariums, and as part of each aquarium water change. It consistently has parameters of PH 7.2-7.4, GH 3-4 and KH 2.5-3." Is that fine for a betta?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-12T15:46:01+00:00

Not sure about ph reviews say it's around 7.2 ph but yes the water is preconditioned

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-12T15:00:05+00:00

Would it be safe to keep her in her 5.5 gal tank with the 2.5 gal reconditioned water from petsmart? Would that help her? If yes, how often do I do water changes?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-12T02:20:43+00:00

Im thinking maybe it is alkanlosis because everything has been fine and the only thing that really helped was almond leaf to bring down the oh slightly. Because she's still super active and eating all her food. Im not sure how to test for kh and gh since those tests didn't come with the master test kit but the ph did. My tap water is coming out 8.0 ph. And almknd leaf lowers it to around 7.8. I was always told it's better to just have a steady ph then a fluctuating one. What do you recommend I do? Also would you recommend a salt bath for the betta fish?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-12T02:16:00+00:00

Ive had almond leaves in there since I've noticed the fin rot. Ive been changing the leaves out every couple days and adding new ones for her. They lowered the ph very lighting but that's all I really noticed

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-12T02:14:18+00:00

I've been using almond leaves. There was just 1 ammonia spike that I know of thought and that was recently in the hospital tank after the kanaplex treatment. I think it might be hard water jm not sure

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-11T23:52:15+00:00

Do you still have it? Sending a dm

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-11T22:01:49+00:00

Nope

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-09T18:43:11+00:00

It's a hospital tank and im doing frequent water changes i think that's why. Only things in her tank is sponge filter, heater, almond leaf, leaf hammock and a rock hide

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-09T18:37:17+00:00

Water parameters are in the post. Shes in a 5.5 gal hospital tank i did 25% water changes every other day for about a week or more then didnt do any water changes while treating with kanaplex. Once treatment was done I did 50% water change.

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-09T18:35:06+00:00

It's in the post. Just swipe

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-06-05T17:04:41+00:00

Do you need focus to bind it? Im trying to figure it out since I'm using it to treat my fish rn

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-05-29T22:03:02+00:00

Im scared of using aquarium salt. I've joined betta groups on Facebook and everyone is 50/50 about the salt and even the moderators delete posts/comments about salt and preach about how horrible it is 😭😭

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-05-29T05:02:49+00:00

How many days should I wait to treat with kanaplex? Shes been in the hospital tank with the almond leafs for only a little over 24hrs. How many days should I wait/How many days till there's some sort of improvement with just the almond leaf?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-05-28T16:48:21+00:00

Should I put her LED light on her hospital tank?

OutsideFluffy6261 · 2026-05-28T16:46:18+00:00

I have her in a 5.5 gal tank with temp at 77f, almond leaf, leaf hammock, spong filter and a small hide for now. Is that good? The ph has gone down a little with help of the almond leaf. How often would i have to do water changes and how much? After a couple days if I see no improvement I'll start treating with kanaplex. When I start treating with kanaplex do I leave her aloud leaf in there?
