your treatment has been sound but I'd go primitive on it
salt
can but try and if you fail cull it
minnows are pretty cheap and it's a good chance to get a different bloodline

Salt isn't really going to do much for Flex. The fish needs to be
treated with the proper antibiotics if the OP wants to save the fish.
Cost of the actual fish doesn't always matter. Sometimes you just want
to save the particular fish.
I personally like Jungle brand Fungus Eliminator (not fungus guard).
It's great for bacterial infections such as Flexibactor (Columnaris)
and Fin Rot.
