I cured mine with melafix and salt. Table spon of salt added to the tank every day for 4 days. Follow the Melafix instructions at the same time.

The salt helps free up their gut which is causing the paralysed look and also helps with the infection in the base of the dorsal fin. Melafix does the rest.

You may be left with a few scar marks but these will disappear about a month after they're all better.
