Flowerhorn hexamita help

[Sumit Panigrahy]

I started treating my flowerhorn with epsom salt today
Dosage - 50 gram for my 30 gallon tank.(approx 3tblsp)

What else should i do ?
I donot prefer using antibiotics like metranidazole.
Right now i only have access to epsom salt.
Pls guide me how to continue the treatment

What makes you say that hex is the problem? Give him a few days to settle in, then see if he will eat and what his colors look like.

white stringy stool and loss of apetite and activity.
What you think should i do ?
I mean should i continue with epsom salt or i should wait.
He looked like a short body red dragon with yellow base

If you are worried, pick up some new life spectrum hex shield and feed that. I would also dose metronidazole and praziquantel. I personally have never had success with salt for anything. That's only my experience though, and many swear by it.

Just remember that you just brought him home. The behavior that he is exhibiting right now is very common for new fish.

I don't believe so. I'm any case, I'm not sure that this is a case of hex. The symptoms described can be from any number of nasties. I believe a good quarantine regimen should do the trick.
