Used API Freshwater Master test kit:
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 10 ppm
pH: 7.6
Tank: 5 gallons, Fluval Spec 5, added air stone, cycled since March 27, 2019, heated. Weekly water changes of about 30%
My fish is a male rose tail betta from Petco, and he is now 2 years old and I have had him for around a year and a half. Ever since I have had him he has struggled with fin rot.
About a month ago, I realized his eyes were bugging out more than usual, so I waited about a week with just changing the water every day about 20%, but after that, he did not seem to be doing better, so I put in some medication. I let him be after dosing the meds was over to wait to see what would happen. Nothing really changed that drastically up to a week ago, I realized that my betta seemed to be constipated with a brown clump and a white stringy poop coming out??? It was really odd, after an hour it was gone so I just assumed that it was just quite the irregular poop. 3 days ago, he started to really be in bad shape his eyes are stilling popping out but now are covered in an opaque lense, he has 2 white spots on his head, and has very often white stringy poop stuck to him (which I think is a symptom of parasites?) all accompanied by his fin rot which has gotten worse.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions anyone has for my betta
