im a little unsure about this but it sounds like clamping.... are you regularly doing water changes?? you should be doing 30-50% when fish are sick daily or every other day of things get too busy.
in most cases its poor water quality that makes them sick to begin with. when you swapped tanks you killed your nitrogen cycle. it takes some time to reestablish. in the mean time every time your fish eats, breathes, he is putting out ammonia.
its been plenty of time for your nitrogen cycle to get back to full working order or pretty darned close unless you scrubbed the sides of the tank or changed your filter media out.
keep up the water changes, keep up with the salt treatment and hope its somethign that will work itself out. i hesitate to suggest medicating (NOT TOPICAL OR SOMETHING ADDED TO THE WATER!!!) without knowing exactly whats wrong.... maybe you can pick up some antibacterial food in case some other symptom shows up other than loss of color and fin clamping....
simply put though, get some salt(3tbs for the entire tank) in there if you dont already, keep up water changes (remembering salt doesnt evaporate so top off with fresh water before performing a water change) and give it time. look for puffy white clouds on his body, white salty looking spots....
oh, run some carbon.
