Dying green terror

My green terror has recently acting extremely strange for the past 3 days and today I noticed ich on other fish. I have not added any new fish recently but the only thing I can think of is I used a net to catch the green terror that I used to remove a dead jewel cichlid from another tank that has ich. Can he contract ich this way? He doesn't have ich but other fish do. I didn't think it had anything to do with the net because he started acting really weird right after I let him go (I used the net to catch him so I could remove a scale that was hanging off). He is showing no signs of ich but after I let him out of the net he started swimming like crazy around the take and seemed to have injured his mouth. I've added a lot of salt (yes I've used the proper salt) and raised the tempreture, What else should I do?


Sorry about the pictures being sideways. I still haven't found out how to rotate them on my iPad

Picture is to show mouth injury, his colors look a bit dull but his attitude has completely died down, he sits on the bottom of them tank with his fins pressed down all day and only eats food that comes down to him

Do the symptons fit?

Could be mouth rot, a fungus infection, or maybe a injury sustained from lip locking? Is there any fish in the terrors aquarium that could fight with it or injure it? It could have lost a fight and would explain its change in attitude and not wanting to swim around in the open?

Other green terrors would be the only culprit but they're all non-aggressive. He was the mean one

In my experience with columnaris both lips protrude. Did he injure himself trying to escape the net? Bash into the tank wall?

Not in the net but once I released him he went crazy hitting his face everywhere
