Thanks guys. That makes me feel better. I wish I had taken a picture of him before I started treating him. There is a big difference between then and now. His belly was almost angular at the bottom instead of the normal curve, but now he looks more normal.
I do think I'm going to give him at least 2 more baths. I feel like such a meanie though. He hates being in that net box!

you shouldn't feel like a meanie, but rather a very good fishkeeper instead dear

Thanks! Today will be Mr. Tetra's last bath. I think he's recovered from his belly issues. Besides, he hasn't eaten since I put him in the box. All he does when I get near the tank is crash into the net trying to get away. Hopefully he'll eat today since he'll be back with his friends.

I third that. You have put a great deal of effort into helping this fish. Great job! Best of luck with him eating. I'm sure once he's more comfortable and back in with the other fish, his appetite will return.

Thanks Renee! Now that he's out of the net, he looks much more relaxed. And he did eat yesterday, so that's good. BUT, since he hated being in that net and would do nothing but crash into it when someone was nearby, now his mouth is all raw from crashing. It looks like he's wearing white lipstick. It's sad, but kind of funny too.
I'm just treating the whole tank with melafix. I think he'll be fine.
