hexamita?

[beerad555]

I believe my chocolate cichlid has hexamita now after battling this with my gold severum. I have salted the tank and usinig api general cure but he appears to have pop eye as well and after treating the tank yesterday he is laying on his side at the bottom of the tank and when he swims he is pointing downward. Is there something else I can do .

He looks like he has Flexibacter Columnaris (aka ducklips). You need to allow the temp to go down to low 70s and 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons to slow down progression. Then you need to treat with Furan-2 and Kanaplex.
