Stress can make fin rot worse. Try to minimize disturbances near the tank, and keep the lighting consistent. A stressed fish heals slower.

Dude, my betta had the same issue. I did salt baths for 10 minutes daily, and it cleared up in like 10 days. Just make sure the salt concentration's right, or it'll burn 'em.

I'd avoid salt baths unless it's severe. Regular salt in the tank is gentler. Also, make sure the betta's eating well. Good nutrition helps with recovery.

Fin rot can be stubborn. If it doesn't improve with salt or leaves, you might need to isolate the fish and treat with a stronger antibiotic. But try the milder methods first.

Keep an eye on the temperature too. Fluctuations can weaken their immune system. A stable heater is key.
