Urgent: Shipping failure, last ditch efforts?

[ngoodermuth]

I had a shipping delay which kept my fish order in transit for 40+ hours. One fish is doing ok, but the other, a lineatus wrasse, looked rough straight out of the bag. It's dorsal fin was torn up, it had 2-3 "burn" marks on its head, and its tail and anal fin were cloudy.

We temp acclimated and tested a small amount of bag water, made sure the sg was good and got them into QT quickly. Last night it swam around a bit and even took a few pellets, but today isn't looking good. Laying on it's side, breathing hard, looks bloated like perhaps swim bladder is failing. I'm not hopeful at this point, but was wondering if anyone has any ideas for a last-ditch effort to save it?

If I recall a methelyn blue bath can help with ammonia burn and damage, but it's sounding like it's too late. :(

I'll try that, like I said I'm not too hopeful at this point :(

+1 On the MB bath for possible ammonia burn. More info here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/methylene-blue.257467/

Thanks anyway for the help. I've been talking to PIA throughout the ordeal and he said they will get me another so there's that. It still stinks though.
