How long should I use maracide?

I have a betta who I suspect may have velvet. He is all red, so it is very simple to see the gold patches by the gills and some on his head especially when you shine a flashlight on him. Anyway, I have used mardel's maracide for the standard five day treatment. It is the final day of treatment according to the bottle, but I still see plenty of gold patches. Should I continue treatment every other day until the spots disappear?

    switch medicines and run another complete treatment or try another 5 treatments of maracide if it seems to have reduced the infection.

    I think you need to change medicines to something else. Check with your local fish store as to other possible medicines. .
