I first noticed my betta's fin rot on 5/18. As its my first time dealing with fin rot and among other things, I didn't know what to look out for and looking back though my pictures, he showed earliest signs in January.
In May, I followed Irene's video on treating fin rot, 1 tsp Ich-X and one packet of Maracyn for a week but saw no improvement. On June 1st, I moved him from my 10G to a 5G quarantine tank with a cycled sponge filter. Then, thinking that the one packet of Maracyn from before may have been too weak of a dosage, I did two rounds of Maracyn. When that didn't work, I started using a level one dosing of aquarium salt on 6/27 and continued using it while starting a round of Maracyn2 on the 29th. Ended up doing two rounds of Maracyn2 but still no improvement. Throughout this time betta has been eating as normal and his activity level is as usual too. I have done routine water changes to the quarantine tank.
The white spot on his body is spreading outwards and I'm worried I won't be able to help him out on time. I would very much appreciate your help and advice. The first picture is from 5/18 and second is 7/8
