My betta is bloated. He floats to the top and sits underneath the filter all day and barely moves. Now he won't even eat! I don't know what to do! I put up a previous question a few weeks ago but he hasn't gotten better.

Symptoms and Treatment
How has your betta fish's appearance changed?
Bloated belly and a much shorter tail (due to recent fin rot)
How has your betta fish's behavior changed?
He floats underneath the filter and wont move unless the water within an inch of him is disturbed.
When did you start noticing the symptoms?
3 weeks ago
Have you started treating your fish? If so, how?
Yes. I tried a bit of AQ salt and after a couple hours he was perfect. The next morning however, he had gotten worse. Then a couple days later I switched to Epsom salt. This didn't change anything. I did 100% water changes daily and put him in a quarantine tank. I even had him fast. This changed nothing
Does your fish have any history of being ill?
Yes, he has had fin rot. I treated that with a tsp of Aquarium salt whenever I changed the water. The red coloring on the edges of his fins have gone and the fins have stopped receding.
How old is your fish (approximately)?
I would guess around 7 months.
Thank you to anyone who can help me!!
