Fin rot ?

what is the best thing to use for fin rot ?

 

[BrookKeeper]

Quickest and easiest is aquarium salt, 2 tsp/gallon. The most important thing with fin rot is to get it before it reaches the base of the fin. If treated early enough, even if most of a fin is gone, it will grow back. Once the rot hits the flesh at the base of the fin, that fine is gone forever.

how long should it take to clear up using aquarium salt?

When i had fin rot i did water changes every 4 days of 90% of the water and it went away in 9 days, though salt would probably make it faster.
