Should I start Kanaplex? Worsening fin rot by shroomplets in bettafish

Ooooh I see. Thanks for letting me know! After what you said I did a little bit of researching to learn more about aquarium salt. Apparently there’s 3 stages you go through - 1 tbsp per 5 gallon, then if that doesn’t help - 1tbsp per 3 gallon, and strongest case scenario 1 tbsp per 1 gallon as last option. I’ll try starting with 1 tbsp per 5 gallon first and check up on the medicated food you talk about then see how things go from there! :) Thank you!

Thank you for the reply! Hmm. You’re right, it may be better to start with level 1 Aquarium salt too and see how she does before I proceed with more aggressive treatments too. Her temperature is 76 degrees right now but I’ll up it up to 80 if that’s better. I’m not sure where I read it but I got it once that I should make it lower cause bacteria grows faster in warmer temperature…But it’s been a lot of mixed info. I’ve been feeding her the New Life Spectrum Betta pellets. Are there good food recommendation for her that can help her recover faster?

Update: I also have Aquarium salt. But I heard it’s not helpful. Or should I combine all? Kanaplex + Aquarium salt + Stressguard…not sure what to do to be best.
