Regular Member fisharenewtome Posted October 13, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have a betta with Popeye & recovering fin rot. I've been treating for 5 days now with Maracyn & tetracycline flake food. The finrot looks much better. The popeye looks the same. This is my first encounter with popeye so I'm not sure what to do! Do I treat longer or???? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member touchofsky Posted October 14, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2005 I would do a water change, then a second round of the Maracyn. You could also add Maracyn II along with the Maracyn. How does he look today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fisharenewtome Posted October 14, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 14, 2005 He looks the same (he's been off the Maracyn for a day but still on the medicated food) Does it sometimes take awhile to go away??? I'll start medicating again! THanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member touchofsky Posted October 15, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hopefully, he will improve with a second treatment. Just be sure to keep the water very clean, so do a good water change before the second treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member fisharenewtome Posted October 15, 2005 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2005 Already on it! (I've got a regular syphon now small enough for that size & am experimenting with battery operated syphons as well. ) I just vac'd the gravel really well & did an 80% change. Back to meds tomorrow!! Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member touchofsky Posted October 15, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted October 15, 2005 I would highly recommend adding the Maracyn II along with the Maracyn, if you can manage it. Please let me know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed this,must have been working.Anyway,I was wondering how your little guy is doing now.Did the Maracyn's second dosing help him out or what?
