Hi, i have a jewel ciclid that was in a tank 2 other ciclids. He got bullied around and became very pale and then started to spit out the food which he hasnt been doing before. I moved him to a 60 L Quarantine, at first thinking that he might get better with some rest. He was spitting out the food so i switched to a very small pellets. Those he ate but only a few at a time. After 2 days he started to spit them as well. I also noticed that when he is trying to eat sometimes he shakes his head like it hurts to him. Yesterday i decided to start treating with meds and since i didnt know exactly what im treating i gavr him an overall treatment: Kanaplex,Furanol and levamisole-to cover parasites and bacteria.After giving the meds ive notice a stressed behavior from him including shakig and swimming rpidly. 2 hours later he was laying on his side. I started to do water changes, replacing about 90% in 2 hours.He is now swimming normaly but seems very very weak.
Just fr mentioning ive checked about these meds and they are supposingly ok to use together and also i did used them together before with no adverse react.
I dont know if it was overdosing or the mixture that cause him to be like this ,or that it was due to something else and i also have no idea what was wrong with him in the first place. I will appreciate any tips and help in diagnosing and for the next step to treat him. Thank you
 
He is lookin better now. but he has those twitches with his head again, like he's trying to shake something of him.This behavior is what making me think that he does have some kind of parasites.. i also read that some internal parasites can cause spitting.. What do you think my next steps should be? restart treatmen with levamisole? maybe metro? to wait more before medicating again? i think that metro has very low stress effect when using so maybe ill use that..
