I bumped the salt up to .2%. I'm concerned about a bacterial infection

latest picture. It looks like the fish may be down to the flesh
there... Even if I'm going to leave the fish in the pond, should I
maybe take it out and dip it? If so, how long and what strength?

Don't dip. Area appears to be healing, you do not want to strip the scab
off. If it changes, looks worst, post another picture. My biggest concern
would be the males damaging that same spot again, as it is in a tender
state at the moment. ~ jan
