Hi guys i saw this video on net of a cichlid swimming very differently, & the guy lost his fish after 2 days even after transferring into a new tank where it looked perfect. What is this disease? i also lost 2 of my cichlids 2 years back due to this strange disease, please point of reasons & way of saving a fish suffering like this.

Looks like Myxosporean whirling disease. It's a bacterial infection that's been attributed to Myxobolus cerebralis. There is no known treatment against this bacteria once symptoms are noted. The only precautionary measures that appear to have any effect is UV sterilization to eradicate the bacteria in the water column. Some tests indicate that improper feeding of fry may allow the bacteria to activate on weakened or improperly developed nerve calls. The onset of this disease also has some correlation to improper diet of fry and sudden temperature changes (IMO an immunity system shutdown).
The disease was first studied in Salmonids but is now frequently seen in other aquacultered fish Families such as Ascipenseridae.

Did your fish just start doing this or were there other strange behaviors before that? Because it looks like a fish on its last legs, I am wondering did your fish act all twitchy and shaky before this happened. If it did I would lean toward ich which can be treated by heat and adding salt. Salt is a cheap way to treat alot of aquarium diseases.
I don't want to tell you how mush you should add as there a lot of variables that figure into that equation.
