Got a PBT and put him into QT. I use hybrid TTM so a peroxide bath when he comes out of the bag for 1/2 hr and then into QT. 2 days later I dose GC for flukes and any other parasites. All went well until I dosed GC. By the end of the day, the edges of his fins were all shredded. And his tail fin really got decimated. Thinking a bacterial infection so did my transfer into new tank and added Kanaplex. Anything else this might be? I know flukes can tatter fins but thinking they would be already tattered before dosing GC. Anything else I should dose? Thanks.

Looks like a mild fin and tail rot.
Assure proper salinity and treat with Maracyn 2 if it deteriorates any more
 
Yes, it almost seems like the GC caused it. I know the prazi in GC can cause a bacterial bloom and the water did get a bit cloudy but didn’t think it would cause this condition.
