Where can I ask for help about my beta fish? I’ve looked at articles about fin rot and tried treating it but they don’t seem to be getting better.

I need help but I can’t seem to find any better veterinarian to contact..
One of my glofish isn’t eating food but the rest glofish and it doesn’t show any unusual behaviours either nor there’s anything wrong on its body .. it’s full of energy most of the times but it didn’t eat any food for about 3 days now.. i have 5 glofish, 2 angels and 2 suckermouth catfish in the same tank .. but they all seemed settled very well.. so I’m confused why it isn’t eating food..? ..
(Also the temperature of the water is normal and water is changed twice in a week) ..
Just want to know is it normal that it’s not eating food ? But otherwise it looks and behaves totally fine..
