I bought a pearlscale approx 2 weeks ago when he arrived he would sit on the bottom. Seller said he just needed time to adjust to temperature after transport. He is still sitting on the bottom.

Have tried addition of salt, anti bacterial treatment and feeding peas. Temperature is between 22-24 degrees Celsius.
Is there anything else I can do to try get him off the bottom and swimming around?

Just now he got stuck and the snail had latched on and has left a bloody spot where I assume the snail was eating him.
What should I treat the wound with?
 
Is the fish still with us? It sounds like it was a grim situation.

Is the tank cycled?

What are the water parameters?

Fresh clean treated water and plenty of aeration!
