Hi, I've had Manny since New Year's. Shortly after I bought him, the tips of some of his fins developed a tiny tuft of white material and began breaking. I tried treating him with Jungle Fungus Eliminator (2 weeks), Maracyn 2 (1 week), Maracyn (1 week), CopperSafe (1 month), and Maroxy (2 weeks and currently). No, I didn't over medicate, as all those treatments were done over the course of 4 months. None seemed to help much as I never saw regrowth of his fins.

I have him in a gallon bowl until his 5g tank cycles. His water parameters are pretty good. I change 100% of his water every 4-5 days with dechlorinator, ammonia remover, aquarium salt, and ph neutralizer. Keep him in a room that stays around 78 degrees and feed him a diet of freeze dried bloodworms and Betta flake food with brine shrimp pieces.

The rays of his fins have steadily deteriorated and it looks like its steadily spreading through is fin (not on his body yet, though). I'm wondering what else can I try for this fin loss? Currently, I'm planning to use tetracycline and maroxy for about a week. Is this a good treatment for persistent tail rot? If not, what's a good cure other than what I've already tried?
