so a bunch of the fish in 100 gallon have fin rot, first it was the butterfly fish, and i treated him alone with antibiotics

well now him, the gar, a couple of silver dollars and the red tailed shark have it.

i already added 2 teaspoons of salt per gallon and raised the temp to 85 degrees.

think a melafix, pimafix combo would fix it up??
 
I don't think temp will cure this, may make it worse. Get some Lifeguard, it will cure it but it's expensive. Hey, so are your fish.
 
For fin rot the treatment of chouce is an antibiotic that is effective for gram negative bacteria, Maracin Plus, Binox, and Tetracycline all will work
