Please help me keep this guy alive. I’ve just had a tomini who kicked the bucket due to this similar fin rot and my 2nd shot at a bristle tooth isn’t doing well either.

starting developing damaged fins on day two.
Does this look like bullying or disease?

many recommendations? Should I try and QT him?
Thanks in advance !

What's going on with this fish's belly? Are those open sores? He also looks mal-nourished, pinched stomach. Those issues are much more concerning that the frayed fins. Is he in QT alone? For how long? What treatments? What food? How much? Ammonia?

The two marks on the fish's tail in the first image look like bite marks. What else is in with it?

Is it breathing fast?

I don't know what those lesions are on its left and right sides, on its belly. Possibly bruising from being attacked by another fish?
