    You could try Waterlife Octozin to treat Hexamita and available in the UK.

    Or use Heat Treatment.

    What I read Raise temperature to 35 degree celsius for 7 days to treat Hexamitosis ( Sprronucleosis) by Dr. Edward J. Noga, MS, DVM, is a highly respected professor of aquatic medicine and immunology.Page 193
