I've been treating my 2 bettas for fin rot for about 10 days (the time of two runs of a Trisulfa treatment). Yesterday was the 10th and last day of the Trisulfa treatment. Halfway through, I started them on Jungle Fungus Eliminator.
:sick:
One of the betta's fins are pretty much healed, and the other is still healing, not quite there yet because so much of his fins had disintegrated.

Question is: Should I keep treating them with the Fungus Eliminator until they are 150% healed and then put them back in their respective tanks or is it too dangerous to treat for so long? Is there someting else that I should possibly switch them to that isn't as strong? :coffee:

As long as they are healing and there's 0 visible fungus or rot, they should be fine without treatment. A healthy tank is ten times better for a healing fish than a stressful, medicated tank in my opinion.
 
They are healing, but I don't think they're 100% yet. I guess maybe I'll just keep treating with the Jungle product... Any other ideas for something not as strong but will work?
