Is this neon tetra disease on my neon tetra? I want to isolate him so he doesn’t infect any others. Thank you for the help!

Required info:

1. One Neon Tetra is affected - the fish has a cloudy appearance on the top by the dorsal fin, unlike any of the other neon tetras in my tank. The fish seems to have a normal appetite, schools, and swims normally.

2. Water parameters: Ammonia-0ppm, Nitrite-0ppm, Nitrate<20ppm, pH-7, Temp-78°F and steady.

3. This is a 16 gallon tank

4. Filter in Penn Plax Cascade 500 ~100gph

5. There are 7 neon tetras and 2 dwarf corydoras and some shrimp

6. Last water change ~5 days ago, 25% change

7. I’ve had the fish roughly 6 months

8. Nothing new in the tank

9. Food has always been aqueon tropical flakes, frozen brine shrimp, and recently a tetra tropical fish vacation block (I was out of town for work for 2 weeks).

This trick may be outdated but it’s always worked full a tank with a about 10 to 15 tblspoons of aquarium salt let fish soak in it for 10 mins a day and isolate him and see if that helps
