Instructions
Use whenever bettas exhibit signs of bacterial disease, such as frayed or torn fins, red ulcers or slimy patches.
Add 9 drops per pint or 18 drops per quart of bowl or aquarium water. For larger bowls or aquariums, add 1/2 teaspoonful per U.S. gallon of water. Repeat dose daily for up to 7 days, and then make a water change. Treatment may be repeated if necessary.
Many disease symptoms will be clearly visible, such as white streaks, lesions, protruding eyes, and other unusual marks or spots on your fish. If you suspect your fish has a disease, it will fall under the categories of fungal, parasitic, or bacterial. One way to diagnose is by matching fish symptoms to the description of a wide range of API medications, which include treatments specific to Ich disease, Betta fish, and various common symptoms (hole-in-the-head, eye cloud, fin & tail rot, etc.)
Does API BETTAFIX treat popeye?

My fish's gills won't seem to close and there puffed out and have these things poking out of them will this help? What should I do?
Answer by • Dec 14, 2017
If the Bettafix doesn't work we'd recommend trying the API E.M. Erythromycin to Treat Bacterial Disease in Fish. It works treats a wide range of bacterial diseases such as body slime, mouth fungus, open lesions, bacterial gill disease and hemorrhagic septicemia.
I was thinking about using this for my new Betta, who appears to have fin rot. I have a moss ball in his tank, will this med kill the moss ball? Should I remove it for the duration of treatment?
Answer by • Oct 23, 2017
As this product is natural it should not affect anything else you have in your tank except for crustaceans and will be safe for moss balls.
This saved my fish, Red. He was solid black originally, he turned white on the front half of his body and his fins and tail began to tear and become jagged. We tried a different brand of fungus/bacterial aid, it did not help. We used this daily for a whole week and he is almost completely black again and his fins are growing back and look healthy again

Used it twice, not effective
I had a betta with tears, and he just overall looked like he wasn't doing well, used this he wasn't doing well so I medicated him again and it ultimately didn't work. Other medications work better than this on bettas.

A great alternative
This is a great alternative to medicating your fish with antibiotics. If you catch things early this stuff works miracles. I keep it on hand for any of my bettas who may be looking under the weather.

Bettafix API
Great stuff!!!!, Our Betta was accidentally scooped out of his tank with a net, and dumped into the trash can with only God knows what in the bottom?#lookedlikemilk? I went to feed him a couple hours later, he was gone? Wasn't like him so I leaped into action searching for him. Found him swimming in trash can put him into his tank with a bottle of this BETTAFIX, and the tough little guy survived and hasn't looked better.

DO NOT BUY
Please do not buy this product or any other product that has the word “fix.”
It is nothing but tea tree oil that causes more harm than good. You can ask many experienced fish keepers. Ive lost too many fish to this medication in the past.

Saved my bettas life
Ludwig stopped eating, became lethargic, and was covered in a white cotton mold on his fins and gills.
1tsp/day had him good as new within 7 days. Never in my life would I have guessed that not only would I be buying medicine for a fish, but said medicine actually works.
Truly amazing.

Saved his fins
My betta has a nice tank, but his back fin had some unpleasant fin rot. It was horrible to see so I used this, did some water changes and within a week his fins are already showing new growth. And he’s energetic and happy again!
