Great Posts from Humblefish. My issue is i have one marine betta that is the sole survivor of an ice wipeout in my DT. (lesson learned) He has been in a 40 gallon breeder for over 76 days. Copper was run at 1.00-1.25, then upped to 2.0 for 30 days after which i did 50% water change. Was about to put back in DT, when i noticed a torn pectoral fin, all the way to the base, with some very slightly opaque markings on fringe. i have done 10 days of Kanaplex. Does not look any worse. With his coloring and behavior it is very hard to get a good look at him. I was about to remedicate with poly guard and metroplex. (furan 2 not avail), but my gut tells me the stress of all this is almost worse than the treatment. I can tell by his behavior that the fish is stressed. Only abnormality on him that I see is the torn fin and the opaqueness that is very very slight at this point, but i cannot tell if it is better than before. Thoughts on continued treatment versus stress on the fish?

Thanks to any that reply.

Can you treat metro / kanalfex and mix with focus to treat my reef tank instead of removing fish?

I know it's fin rot, and I won't be able to remove fish, so was wondering if I can use focus to bind to frozen foods and feed the fish that way?

Hi humble fish! In this article you posted, my blue eye anthias has exactly the same fungus. How do I treat it?
