I've had my angelfish for about two months now. It seems like one day it was healthy and the next day it had no fins.

At first, from what I read online I thought adding aquarium salt would help. Only a tiny bit better. Although the water levels were fine to begin with, I also did a 25% water change and now the water levels are perfect. I also turned the heater up to about 82 degrees.

After the water change the fins seemed a bit better, but since then, no change.

Is there anything else I can do?

I'll provide before and after pictures.

Well I'd certainly look into treating fin rot, that's pretty bad, keep the water pristine and feed good food, how often do you change water?
 
I change the water about every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks.

And since I've had the fish I've been feeding it TetraMin flakes and Omega One Freeze Dried Bloodworms. It won't eat any Brine Shrimp.

What specific anti-biotics treat fin rot?
 
50% weekly water changes are recommended by most of the veteran fish keepers in this forum. It will definitely give your lil guy a better chance to heal, you can google a good medication, I'm not sure as to any specifics on that.
