Betta stopped swimming, laying down

My betta just overnight stopped swimming and stays laying down. I've been doing water changes every other day and I've been giving him Aquarium salt baths.

He doesn't have a swollen belly and doesn't look constipated. He isn't pineconing .

He was fine a week ago and now he won't or can't get up . When he does move , he just sinks again .

Hes had a pea diet before and I don't overfeed him .

What is wrong with him???

Are there any other signs of illness? Discoloring, torn fins, inflamed gills, abrasions?
What are your parameters?

Theres nothing in the tank to scratch him or tear his fins but they have gotten shorter a little bit. Over time the bottom of his face hs turned white if that's normal? But this just happened so fast.

Ph 7.6
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 5ppm
Ammonia 0ppm

 

Do you have any medication?
Something like API Bettafix. I would definitely run to petshop to grab some meds. Like ASAP

You're not supposed to use bettafix or melafix on bettas

 

Why are you giving him aquarium salt baths? How exactly are you doing that and how often? If you're doing salt baths frequently, I can't imagine that being too good for the fish.

Epsom salt baths are helpful for sick fish. I don’t know about aquarium salt though.

It could be some kind of infection, but it doesn’t sound like fin rot.
