I'm treating a betta with pretty advanced fin rot and possibly some other illness. You can find the details of how I got the guy and some pics in this thread I posted under Anabantoids.
Anyway, I've been treating him with Fungus Clear tabs by Jungle Labs since either 2/21 or 2/22, which makes it either day 15 or 16. The only change is that he seems to be gaining some much needed weight, but his fins don't seem to be getting any better. The lump in his belly fin up near his body seems to have slightly opened into a white-gray lump like the one in his tail. I'm not sure what these lumps are, and I'm just not sure how to proceed now.
I've been keeping him in 10g (tank is a 16g tall, footprint 12x12 inch) at 80F and changing 4g at least every 4 days (the number of days recommended to repeat dose of Fungus Clear). He is still eating vigorously and seems to swim pretty well, if at times a little clumsy in his turns. So, I'm not quite ready to give up on him and euthanize, but I'm also concerned that he hasn't shown much improvement besides gaining a little weight from better food and regular feedings.
