If possible post a picture, blood streaked fins sounds like septicemia, a condition caused by water quality. I've bought a few koi in the past with it. Will be easier to tell if i could see it though.

^+1 on septicemia. That is a systemic body infection. If he had any wound or broken skin, that may have given it entry. but I'm not sure that a wound has to occur, as it may enter any bodily orifice.
Google which antibiotics to get.
If he is already declining it may have progressed too far.
I think almost half of humans who get it die, is what the Drs told my mom after she survived it. in hospital.

Just be cautious. Dont put your hand in the tank if you have a cut and wash them after messing with the tank. Dont remember what exactly I did for the koi I think it was as simple as adding salt and melafix. I also had a uv sterolizer on them not shure if that made the difference. I have a book somewhere that tells how to treat it let me see if I can dig it up.
