Why HITH.... WHY?

[twk1]

my understanding is that hexamita doesn't directly cause HITH. as ash said, it is a symptom. hexamita damages (sometimes permanately) the digestive tract of the fish, making it much less efficient of absorbing nutrients.

if a fish is damaged badly enough by the infection, it may never again absorb a sufficient amount of nutrients, regardless of diet. this can lead to HITH.

that's my understanding, and it makes sense, but i cant remember where I got that info so I could be mistaken.

So is there anything i can do to stop this Hexamita symptom now, So that my bp CAN absorb the nutrients that it needs? What will happen to my bp if it doesn't stop... will my bp lose its whole head and just have its eys left or someting?? i REALLY hope not.
