blue betta

Its a betta, tank is only between 3-4 gl, I am doing big water changes at
the moment because their tail/fin are in bad shape, i also had this problem
with two other betta's (ich) and problems with their tail/fin and by
changing water every day, they were back to being healthy in a couple weeks
and are now fine, they are not in perminit tanks at this time, its much
eaiser to treat in the tanks they are in now.

You should only rarely do 100% water changes. By replacing all the water,
you will cause new tank syndrome. Of course, the medications you're
adding might already be killing the good microbes along with the bad.

You may want to add aquarium or sea salt to your tank unless it's planted.
The added salinity will definitely help against ich.
