Medication should be a last resort. If you've got multiple cases of fin rot in your tank, you should check your water parameters. Fin rot tends to flourish in tanks that have a high organic load. Decrease feedings, do extensive vacuuming of the substrate, and substantial water changes. Good water quality should be the key to treating the disease. You can also add some aquarium salt to facilitate healing (approx. one tablespoon per 5 gallons).
