There are no guarantees when it comes to curing HITH, every case can be different so keep that in mind when considering a return.

Thanks for all the advice guys I do appreciate it. . I ended up taking him back and getting a healthier lookin specimen.. I would have normally taken in the challenge of nursing him back to health but due to just recently settling overseas got a fair bit else to deal with at moment too. Thanks

Metro seems to work best but it's extremely difficult to treat. It's always good to Quarantine new fish but unfortunately many of us don't do it.

What pH and hardness do you keep your fish. Severum came from soft and acidic water. If the environmental condition is not right, HITH will return.

The OP never kept this fish ......
