I have a dragontail betta named Pierre that I got last June. He is in a 1 gal filtered tank. He's always been real spunky, eats good and just a joy to watch. He developed popeye (which I didn't even know what it was, I thought his eye was just deformed or something) and I bought some bettafix- which was the recommendation of the petstore he came from. I gave him the bettafix for 7 days and follwed instructions. There is a little improvement, eye isn't cloudy and fins look a little brighter- but his eye is still bulged out.
I read on the internet today that bettafix isn't a good cure and I need to get Maracyn (antibiotic). Then I read you can treat it by adding aquarium salt and monitoring temps. Do any of you have experience with this? I love my Pierre and even though he is still eating/moving around, I don't want this getting worse. He has probably had it for months, but I've been keeping his tank clean so it hasn't affected him much.
