Advice about fin rot please

[Nemo99]

I got him his own tank as he has gotten much worse again on his tail especially, I attached some photos is this still fin rot?, how should I treat the tank from now. Also during the process one of the barbs on his fins got caught on the net and I couldn't get it off so I cut the net he has just been swimming in this corner (I did put a pipe in there) how am I best to get the piece of net off. I probably look really dumb right now but you guys help is much appreciated.

My feeling and suggestion would be to separate the fish. Place the pictus in a qt tank and treat for underlying infection, septicemia. Try some triple sulfa. Keep the water clean. Can add a little salt 1tsp per, once. Best of luck and I hope it pulls through.

I probably look really dumb right now but you guys help is much appreciated. The other side of his tail is worse pretty much to the bone but I cant get a picture with him in this corner

I got him a tank fo his own as he has gotten much worse especially on his tail and his belly has red patches, his tail is worse on the other side pretty much to the bone but I cant get a photo at the moment. Is this still finrot?, how should I treat his tank, also during the process the barbs on his fin got caught in the net and i couldn't get it out so i cut that piece of net off very carefully as we were both getting very distressed how should i get it off though. I probably look really stupid and like I'm killing all my fish but I've never had these problems before with other tanks, your help and advice is very much appreciated.

Kind of looks like fin rot with septicemia. Would keep the water clean. Add some salt 1 tsp per g. Add a broad spectrum antibiotic. Kanamycin, maracyn2, furan2, and oxytetracycline are good options. From most to least preferred.
