My Betta was flashing up and down the tank and constantly, i could not see any trace of white dots\parasites and just thought that he must just be chasing his reflection. I have seen many videos on Youtube stating that this is normal and not to worry and they are WRONG, my Betta was still doing this with the lights and the pump turned off and the sides of the tank covered up. Then i noticed that he had rubbed the scales away from his face and the sode of his bod, this when i realized that he was rubbing against the glass and not chasing his reflection. I bathed him externally (in the morning) with half a teaspoon of aquarium salt and 1 drop of prime in about 5 litres of water gradually increasing the temp to 26.3C and then letting the water cool back down to 25C (my tank temp) and this did not seem to make a difference. Then later in the afternoon he seemed to be going crazy up and down the tank so i bathed him again. Wow after 15 mins in another bath i placed him back in the tank and he is completely back to normal. I will continue to bath him now for about a week to help heal his rubbed away scales but i am so thankful and so grateful for this product.UPDATE: Oops a day later and hes back to flashing and tank surfing, i have ordered other meds....research also tells me to add API stress coat to make up for the salt that could remove the slime coat from the fishes scales.

Bought to put trace minerals into water and fight any fungus. The dosage recommended is very small, and is enough to put some trace minerals into the water. To fight fungus, the concentration needs to be much much higher, which fish can only tolerate for short periods, so there's probably not much benefit increasing the recommended dose much (up to double dose is OK, from my use of it). The reason why higher dose is not recommended, IMO, is because it's not "meant" for freshwater fish like Bettas. Also, scaleless fish like Catfish react worse to it as it upsets their balance (I've noticed this recently in my Loaches). So a small amount, in accordance with recommended dose (or double at max) is fine.The problem here is the price and the marketing. This is just salt. It is probably sea salt, i.e. sodium chloride, as rock salt is more expensive. Rock salt is basically much purer sodium chloride (99% vs 85% in sea salt). So, you can just buy ordinary sea salt which must be additive-free. I've just bought a 1kg one on Amazon for £2.50 which should last me at least 1 year, if not several years. There is no such thing as "Aquarium Salt" - it's like saying "Dinner Salt" or "Lunch Salt". Just ensure it's Sea Salt or Rock Salt and you're fine.This is why I've given 3 stars. Because I'm tired of these Aquarium manufacturers ripping off people by taking advantage of people's ignorance. Before I started doing all this research - and I'd love to not have any reason to research, but the price tags on aquarium products makes it necessary for me to do - I was ignorant, completely ignorant about fishkeeping, and I still am to a large degree. I can save you some money on this Salt issue, though, so hope it helps.
