To be honest, a lot of betta keepers stay clear of Bettamax now. It's
really just a really low-grade antibiotic that is essentially useless.
If your betta is sick enough to need an antibiotic, Bettamax isn't
strong enough to help, and if he's healthy, then he shouldn't be
exposed to antibiotics at all.

Dragon, don't worry too much about it, your bettas will be much better
off with good clean water.

What would you recommend to treat a betta that doesn't show any
outward signs of disease (no fungus, lesions, etc.) but is hanging out
on the bottom of the tank or in the corner? As I said, one of my
bettas gets "droopy" and Bettamax has always perked him right up.
Would this be a Maracyn II kind of thing, perhaps? I'm new to
betta-keeping and would love to know what would be best to use in this
kind of circumstance.
