I would switch over to kanaplex it's a more broad spectrum antibiotic treatment

What I would feed Bugbites spirulina flake hikari vibra and a mixture of frozen or live brine shrimp daphnia blood worms crushed peas are feed to help with bloating
-
No I would do a 50% water change then dose kanaplex medicated food kept 9 months in freezer it might ok I would always air on the side of caution and make a new batch what I would do is feed him once a day with the medicated add a small amount of Epsom salt to the mix that will help with the bloating

Stingy clear or white mucus is poop without food in it produced when fish haven't been eating or from an intestinal infection most of the time it's nothing to worry about if there eating ok active I would worry if they stop eating lose weight any rapid breathing hanging out near the surface lethargy than I would treat I would just focus on stable water parameters good quality foods

wood eating catfish such as clown plecos and royal plecos need the lignin in the wood so I would always have some wood in the tank for them I have kept a variety of plecos over the last 20 plus year and I always put wood in there tanks it grows biofilm on the wood for them to gaze on it's very beneficial to there fry as a Frist source of food

Sorry to hear this he could have some spinal injury due an impact if that the case the chance of recovery are small if you think his quality of life isn't good and your not seeing any improvement I would consider humanely euthanize him with clove oil -
Looks like a tumor they are really common in Bettas due to low genetic diversity treatment wise there's not a lot a could suggest or than keep stable water parameters and add some Indian almond leaves were it's located it will start to effect his Gills and breathing I would monitor if you think he no longer has a good quality of life or he's suffering than I would humanely euthanize him with clove sorry I don't have better news

10ml of flukasol treats 80 gallons It's dosage is based on treating pond as long as you get the dosage right and don't overdose it should be fine NT labs fluke and wormer contains flubendazole is easyer to dose in smaller volumes of water

Looks great

I would be suspicious of hole in the head with what your describing what I would do is treat with metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 3 weeks and do a course of maracyn2 just in case there's a bacterial component the combination of the two medication provides a broad spectrum treatment @helpfrank
-
With the fact it's hanging at the surface not eating and colour loss possible bacterial infection what I would do is quarantine add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons and do a course of kanaplex @Jumpingintank
-
Am not seeing any Redding that would indicate an active infection fin rot can eat away at the fins it would then turn into body rot am not seeing any indication of that it's an odd one what I would do if you notice him more lethargic or stop eating or heavy breathing what I would do is do a course of kanaplex just in case there's a bacterial component

What I would do is treat with metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 3 weeks and add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10 gallons the salt will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes at that level it won't harm your plants
-
Sorry to hear you lossed your fish If your evey dealing with ich again the most effective treatment is ick X and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons as ich causes massive electrolyte loss and salt adds back in essential electrolytes
-
I think your more than likely dealing with a parasitic infections it can take a minimum of 4 course of levamisole 4 1 week apart you have only done 2 course and it can take a minimum of 3 course of prazipro 2 weeks Apart with the 2 course of prazipro and 1 course of paracleanse and Tetra lifeguard I think it's less likely to be tape worms flat worms flukes what I would do is 3 more full course of levamisole one week apart and add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes or you can do this treatment protocol that very effective to cover all bases

Doesn't look like anchor worms to me possibly the start of hold in the head the recommended treatment is metronidazole in food that's the active ingredient in metroplex feeding a small amount twice a day for upto 3 weeks @Hanks Tanks

Can you get a side on picture it's difficult to tell off your picture

With nitrates of 80ppm that can effect fish's immune system cause problems with swim bladder what I would do is a 50% water change to get it down to 40ppm do larger weekly water changes and quick growing plants such as hornwort Elodea floating plants water lettuce Amazonian frogbit red root floaters to help remove excess nitrates you I have seen these with spots on Cory's before they usually resolve with a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 and gallons at that level it shouldn't harm your plants and add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties @Tfred82
