It's possibly a gram negative bacterial infection (fungus) that occurred due to the tank issues while you were gone. It could also be velvet (someone with velvet experience would need to confirm).

If he is alive, I would do nothing and observe. It can only go one of two ways. Are you sure is alive? Cichlids are tough though...
Sorry this happened, every so often each one of us loses a price fish like that.

Unless you have methylene blue, not much else. I wouldn't go out of my way to order it at this point.

Should be in a tub with methylene blue (at least 15 gallons). Change the water using old tank water every day. The tub would also need a heater and airstone or some kind of pump to agitate the water line.
