@ColuGiven the other problems (lost all of my barbs a few months ago) I've had with this tank, would you possibly suspect mycobacterium as an underlying cause? I had to pull out my female gourami last week to treat fin rot, which she's healing. Just wondering if I should get a UV sterilizer in the near future. All test readings are still 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 10 nitrate, with 25% weekly water changes.

UV steriliser break the DNA chain of bacterial stoping them from reproducing lowering the bacterial count in your tank they can  degrade micro  fertilizer causeing them to precipitate out and becoming unavailable for plants to use if you are going to use a UV steriliser remember to turn it off when treating with meds
