Update:
It was scary for the first few days because he wouldn't eat and seemed terrified of everything. He is now eating and exploring his tank more. I only dosed with half the recommended amount of salt because of my cories, and his fins are looking much better. I also dosed melafix just for the heck of it, and oddly enough, when I checked a short while after, there were a bunch of tiny white worm looking things swimming around. I looked those up and apparently I need to vacuum more often. I've been overfeeding trying to get him to eat something, plus, the food I thought was getting consumed before I bought him was settling under my driftwood. I don't think the worms are harmful, but if I'm wrong please let me know. I was really worried that the stress he had would cause him all sorts of trouble, but hopefully we're out of the woods. I hesitate to do too many pwc's because they freak him out, but he really needs the clean water.
Once again, any advice would be truly appreciated.
