I would keep up the water changes, raise temp to 80, and add Melafix.

yeah and keep lights off and other stressors to a minimum, i would also add salt though i dont know if you can have salt in at the same time as melafix... GOOD LUCK i hope you can get him better he looks like he has some great colors

crap! he has gotten worse hes laying on his side barely breathing idk what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nothing else you can really do than whats been said.
I had an O flog up its breeding partner, looked about the same damage, it didnt make it.
Good luck with it.

keep the water pristine!! add 1lb of salt for every 100 gallons of water and gradually raise the temp to 85-86F. make sure u have enough aeration in the water. add an air stone or better yet a powerful power head aimed and positioned near the surface of the water.
