You could try an ammonia neutralizer just in case, such as Amequel, AmmoLock, ACE (Ammonia and Chloramine Eliminator), or Prime,

im not really a huge fan of those products for ammonia neutralizing.... to me its kinda like a person being stuck in a room with loads of ammonia and instead of opening a window to let fresh air in you use another chemical (which may or may not be harmful) to render it less harmful.  sorry!! just a personal preference!!

Age. You said you've had him 3 years, he could be 4 years or older, and that could be especially old for a betta depending on what kind of water conditions he's been in his whole life.

under the best conditions bettas (these days) live to be around 4 years old. factor in things like their initial "cup o' doom" and all that brings with it, over feeding and the hundreds of other things that can go wrong its a miracle they live to THAT age.  if your bud is already 3 years old, you are doing somethign right!! 
keep us posted if you will!!!
