Emergency! Male ram in bad shape!

[emerald76]

My male ram is not looking good. He has a big bloody cut on one side. He will not eat and is lying on the bottom. I put him in a breeder trap so he won't be harassed. I can't put him in my QT it has fry and I'm afraid I'll put him in shock. He looks pale and sad. Water is perfect, 0,0,10. I turned off lights and tried spot feeding him- no luck. I haven't tried his favorite food yet- should I? It's brine shrimp. I have aquarium salt but I also have cories and dosed with fungus meds last night and I have no carbon. I did a 2/3 dose on fungus meds. What should I dose for salt? It's a 30 gal planted. I really don't want to lose him, help! Should I do a water change?

Please please help me! I was researching online and it said to put medical ointment on wounds- would bacitracin or triple antibiotic cream work?

It's bad. How do I do a salt dip? I have a 1 gal pitcher, just fill to line with aquarium water or with new water? What salt concentration?

He died before I even opened the salt. Great. He's the only male. Petsmart doesn't sell them, I only ever get girls

Sorry about the ram. The same case happened with a beautiful leopard angel I had, had swim bladder disorder and he got attacked before I could help much. I was too late and it was sad.
