The reason for netting out for treatment is

----------------
basically, when fish are sick, netting them out usually stresses them to the point where they can't fight off the infection anymore
not a really good idea to net fish out for any reason
even when the water conditions are bad, it's a much better idea to rectify them than to move them to a new location, which is a stop gap measure

salt will stress the fish, definitely
no point in using the salt as a general panacea if you don't know what's wrong
usually makes things worse
tried carbon? might be dissolved organics in the water screwing things up
and have you cleaned out your filter yet?
