    started using this for my bettas before. now keeping stock for just-in-case purpose. last used when i put some sterbai corys in quarantine tank.

    see: http://www.koivet.com/melafix/ for details. i've a hardcopy stuck to my office cubicle.[]

    1. activated carbon should be removed, whenever you medicate your tank.

    2. yes, i've heard of bettas dying after being overdosed with melafix. have never experienced before, cos see no need in overdosing![:0]

    3. i've managed to cure finrot cases on my bettas and albino cory before.

    4. gee, last time i bought a bottle was quite sometime ago... can't remember the price. something like $6 to $20 (???) depending on the size of the bottles? try Petmart or B328 Clementi.

    cheers!

    not a recommended practice
    you might end up stressing your fish for nothing and on top of that, start breeding resistant bacteria if the med is below MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration)
    follow the instructions and you should be just fine

    like i said
    follow the instructions and you will be fine
    unless there is something intrinsically incompatible with the medicine (like, methylene blue and biological filters) you shouldn't need to worry
