When you use salt, either use aquarium salt (very cheap like 1 usd for a milk carton container) or NON-iodized salt.

Who won't allow you to medicate him?
If he's sick he should be medicated.

We can help you figure out how much salt to add so when you do add it, it will help him and not hurt him.

tell us more about his tank size, etc...

Liquid meds are fine. You can use a pippette or a syringe for accurate measuring.

Aquarium Salt, Aquarisol, Melafix, Bettafix, Tetracylene, Maracyn1 & 2 are for fin rot.

Any of those can be used in a 1 gallon, whether tablet form or liquid.

Tablets

Liquid

The whole syringe...1 tsp (5ml)..........treats 10 gallons
3/4 the syringe.......3/4tsp (3.75ml)....treats 7.5 gallons
1/2 the syringe.......1/2 tsp (2.5ml).....treats 5 gallons
1/4 the syringe.......1/4 tsp (1.25ml)...treats 2.5 gallons
1/5 of 1 ML ............(.20ml)..................treats 2 cups

So to treat 1 gallon you need 3/5 of 1 ML.

3/5 of the 1ML section = 3rd tick (.60ml) = treats 1 gallon

Aquarium Salt should be dosed as 1 Tablespoon to 1 gallon of water.

I just bought a guy like that a couple of days ago... and his spawn brother who has a couple of orange spots and a blue overlay on his body

They're very unusual looking
