He was showing symptoms poor looking fins, looked skinny despite being fed well just a few months after I got him, my previous thread…

Today, I found him dead. Over the past few days, he became more lethargic and had skin lesions. He was clearly struggling to eat (e.g., needs to lounge at a pellet many times before he gets 1 in his mouth). I chalked it up to old age because he still had a good appetite.
This morning, I found him dead. His body was a bit curved, which is why I'm thinking it's tuberculosis. These past few months I've stopped dosing fertilizer altogether because I've been dealing with cladophora. According to the pinned article by Diana Walstad, these bacteria thrive in nutrient-scarce environments. So I guess the timing makes sense.
I'm confused what I should do. Should I make sure to dose my other betta tank with nutrients? Almost surely that tank has the same bacteria as well because I used the same bucket & vac for water changes.
