Gasp bff and laying on bottom

[Ecb]

Help! I have a cycled 36-gal tank with 5 Mollies, 1 Angel, 5 Tetras, 2 Cories and a Zebra pleco. Last week, 2 of my Molies became territorial and started fighting each other and this one in the video. Our local fish store allowed me to bring the bullies back and swap them out. But they had already created a wound right behind the dorsal fin on this guy. He suggested that we move the wounded one into 1 gallon of water with a teaspoon of salt for seven minutes every other day to treat the wound. We have been doing that and it has been going well. The wound is looking a little bit better. However, now this fish can’t swim at all and is gasping on the bottom of the tank. Everyone else in the tank is doing fine and the water parameters are all testing good. Is there anything else I can do?

Sad to say, he looks like a goner to me. I would suspect he was injured beyond the bite mark.
