It does look like the fin root is getting worse. Hmm...i guess i would treat the gram negative first then hit the fin rot hard after since the columnaris is probably the worst threat right now

Well, the Tomini I had with it lasted 3 weeks but since it affected his eating he might have starved to death. I cut away would I could (so he could eat), but then it started growing inside of his mouth. The fin rot on your PT looks like its getting worse and it also appears the infection has spread to the body. Is he still in cipro?
If u read the entire thread it explains it allCould it have a parasite? Attacking the gills? Like ich or velvet? When you dip him does anything come off?

Have you tested the Cu level to be sure its staying within therapeutic range? To protect him from reinfection? All that rock in the QT is likely absorbing some of the copper and then leaching it back out, causing the Cu level in the water to be unstable.
never heard of copper shock for a fish. im giving them the copper sulfate suggestion for copperaid (kordon) brand. i bought it because i thought i lost my typical copper treatment from back in the day (which i did) - was cupramine
^^ Are you using Cupramine or Kordon Copper-AID on him? If Cupramine, then 0.4-0.5ppm is within therapeutic range. However, Copper-AID is a chelated copper product with a much higher range (1.5-2.0ppm). You'd also need a total copper test kit (such as API) to measure Copper-AID.
So sorry to hear. Thank you for all your effort.well. it's as i expected.
he passed while i was at work.
not sure what i could have done different. I did some reasearch on columnaris and some sites state that if the infection is visible, organs have already started failing.
ironically a lot of them use cipro and peroxide to treat it, i may have caught it late.
triple sulfa and furan2 were also suggested. so both good advice from @Humblefish and @domination2580
