Fish in overflow

He was in a little worse shape than I had expected. Super skinny, a scrape on his back, and possibly a little ich on his fins. I fed a couple times with minced garlic yesterday.

Today, he's fat again and no signs of ich, but now the PBT has spots on his fins! At least the PBT is the easiest fish in the world to catch. He goes in the fish trap almost before it reaches the bottom. I'll check on him again at noon to see if he needs to be pulled. He's spending most of his time at the "cleaning station" by the neon goby.
 
It hasn't gotten any worse, but it hasn't gotten better either, so I'm gonna pull him out. I set up a 37 gallon. As soon as my RO/DI makes another 15 gallons I'll mix it up and change it out with the main tank. I'm using all tank water in the 37. Once I get the fish, I'll drop the specific gravity to 1.009 over two days, and that will be home for the next 6 weeks.
