On October 1st he started to tailstanding on the bottom of aquarium, stopped swimming, so i stoped Flagyl thinking he was intoxicated. Give Started Prazipro on October 8 with the reccomended dosage on the bottle. On october 3 he popped a very long white poop, so i started Flagyl again, he is not eating since September 15. On October 20 i made a Levamisole dose following the forum instructions, remaining for 24 hours witch a 90% WC other dayu. I continue to giving him Metronidazole 10mg/L 12/12h since that, about a 3 days ago i started to give him food with a syringe containing food and metronidazole, but nothing seem to work, now he is swimming with difficulty, tailstanding at the bottom, made a unique white poop yesterday.

    No more medications..... Over medicating there is a danger of toxicity to the fish, frequently causing liver, kidney, or other organ damage that may or may not be reversible.... IMO.....Raise temperature to 35 degree celsius for 7 days to treat Hexamitosis ( Sprronucleosis).

    Hi regisled, I agree with Francis, I think the fish has been subjected to too many meds. Raise the temp as suggested by Francis and lets see if that works. Do you have any other discus?

    Thx i will appreciate all the helps, yes, have 5 more on a 65gallon tank with sand substrate, all of them eating fine and pooping black shitt, also preventive treated all with a prazipro single dosage and metronidazol on heartbeef 3 times with 1 day of break between the medicated foods. I get all of them from the same breeder about 4 months ago, this one is pooping white when comes but i was inexperencied and dont made a quarantine for fishes. This is a imagem from today, he is swimming very little, stopping on the cornersides at the bottom.

    I didnt medicated anymore since about 4 days now, only using salt 10 grams per 20 gallons. Its better to use common salt or Epsom salt? Im already used Epson with Metro.
