Started noticing my betta in the past month or so developed symptoms of clamped fins. Other than that he's moving around and eating normally. How should I go about treating this?

Things I've done so far :

  1. 40% water change, will start doing 25% water changes more frequently if needed
  2. Purchased betta mirror so that he can flare and stretch his fins out for a couple of minutes per day or every couple of days

Following are my tank parameters which seem pretty normal and in good shape :

  • Tank size:
    • 10 gallons
  • Heater and filter? (yes/no):
    • yes
  • Tank temperature:
    • 79-80°F
  • Tank Parameters:
    • Used API Freshwater Master Test Kit ⁠
      • Ammonia: 0 ppm
      • ⁠Nitrite: 0 ppm ⁠
      • ⁠Nitrate: 2.5 ppm
  • How long have you had the tank? How long have you had your fish?:
    • Had the tank and betta for 8 months
  • How often are water changes? How much do you take out per change? What is your process?:
    • Approximately 25% water change every 2 weekS. Should be doing it more often to be honest. I use a gravel siphon every week and scrub the walls about once every 3-4 weeks
  • Any tankmates? If so, please list with how many of each:
  • What do you feed and how much:
    • Tetra BettaMin small pellets. I feed him once per day with 4-5 pellets
  • Decorations and plants in the tank:
