My personal, "real life" experience is that salt and any formalin based med is indeed deadly. Don't mix them.

Well let me just say I'm glad to learn what I did once could have been catastrophic. I aways add a tablespoon for every 3 gal i replace when i take water out and if i fill up for evaporation i dont add salt. Just a little as a preventative. You are right that i didnt add enough salt to really make a difference, and i was lucky that i replaced that much water before adding meds.
Appreciate your (guys') input!

Update: Still the same, Fin Rot seems to be passive or at least not doing anymore damage. Still lying on its side. My concern now is it not eating. I have Sinking Cichlid Gold that it ate before and now it's not taking any food. Just simply looks at it as it sinks.
Update: Still has fin rot. Still laying on its side. Still not eating. Still pretty active as it lays; it breathes normally and moves fins actively. Adding quick cure (no salt) and doing 25% water changes every other day. Just gotta tackle the fin rot first before the Hexamita. This guy's a trooper!
