If the FH is eating you can soak his food in Epson Salt and feed it to him for 5-10 days. But if your FH is not eating the best way to cure him of Hex is to use "Clear" and inject him a minimum of 5 times but as many as 10 times. The bottle of "Clear" comes with enough medicine to dose a FH at 6 inches or smaller 10 times. For larger FH you may need a second bottle. I just went through this with my Kamfa and Thai Silk. The Kamfa is back to himself after 5 days, but my Thai Silk is still sick so Im going to have to try to treat her for longer. Use Clear, it works.

Great advice! I am on day 2 Clear with my 4 inch young flowerhorn and he is already starting to eat. Intestine string gone. It was difficult to do the injections but we love our fish enough we must.

Can anyone elaborate on using the metronidazole? I have access to the pills where I work. Or do I need to find a liquid or powder?

What do u mean vomiting? Spitting the pellets? What does it vomit? the brown poop was from the blood worm. What deworming meds did u used?
