Hi, I have a Betta who's dealing with a very mild case of Ich at the moment, and has been for over a week now. I've got him in a 1 1/2gal tank and have been treating him with "Ick Away". (Just a few drops at a time, since it's such a small tank.) He can't stand the air stone I had to hook up in there because the side of the bottle says to have good aeration. I think I'm doing everything I need to for him, in this case...
Then just yesterday, I noticed he's got damage on his head! Like, the scales are messed up, or something. It's fairly big too. I'm not sure how it happened, wether it was actual damage, or if it's another health problem.
My question is, I know salt is benificial to bettas, but can I use sea salt that is rock table salt? It's the only kind of salt I've got around the house. How much should I use, and how do I go about it? Should I do a half change b4 I add salt, b/c of the meds? Can I use Ick Away & salt at the same time?
Thank you in advance for your help!
