UPDATE: Now my RPB is sick.

fin rot can be treated with marcyn... i'd add salt and keep things quiet around the tank, make sure you have excellent water quality and keep a close eye on him
Okay... So I just got home from work and of course went to check on my RPB, only to find that he's seemingly worse off already.
I found him on his side, partially laying on his back (His belly was held up because he was /trying/ to right himself) so now he can't even keep himself held upright. I ushered him into a space between the side of the tank and his root to keep him held upright, but now I need to ask you guys this..
Should I still go out and buy salt and maracyn to treat him, or is it too late? The last thing I want to do is spend a chunk of money and use the products when they aren't even going to save my poor RPB.
I hate dilemas.

depends you can always use those meds in the future if needs be, its up to you and each situation. My last rhom was so bad i euthanized it cos i felt bad keeping it in that state when i knew it would prob wouldnt recover.
As i say its your decision. I find the best way is decapitation but if you cant do that try clove oil in water (in a bucket) to sedate and then freezer.
