i know what you mean. this is the correct place to be for people who understand the simple yet elegant love of a fish :)

Epsom salt treatment would be 1 tsp a gallon. To help your Betta you really need to get a heater, it lowers their immune system and will cause more problems. Bettas come from Thialand, which means the water temperature is tropical. So a heater is essential.

Hope your fish gets better!
Oh and next time please don't post multiple times, it just confuses people.
