Hi . 2 days ago this betta started to show signs of weakness with signs of dropsy, pineconing of scales and slightly swollen abdomen but he was swimming and eating a bit. Today he seems much worse, sitting on the bottom f the tank and dosent eat or swim. I want to treat him and help him and looking for advice. Ive read about using epsom salt/ aquarium salt and i have a bunch of meds available. Do you have any reccomendations on treatments? He is in a 25 l tank alone with weak filtration and a heater 26C water quality is good 0,0,5. Thank you

Try some kanamycin and epsom salt 1 tbsp per 5g.
