I have done 25% water changes. And this is my 2nd time trying API General cure. My angel is looking pretty bad. I have not been able to clean out the waste or change my filter for a few months. I have been laid up from gallbladder surgery.I used bottle water for the tank. We have ammonia in our water and had problems with it even after letting it sit for 48 hours.Hole in the head disease (aka head and lateral line disease) is caused by hexamita.
It occurs in cichlids that are kept in dirty environments.
Metronidazole can be used to treat it. However, you should clean the tank conditions up first and do a 75% water change and gravel clean the substrate every day for a couple of weeks. You should also clean the filter. You can add some salt during that time. If there's no improvement after 2 weeks of clean water and salt, then use Metronidazole.
Usually 1 a month on water change add water 2 x a month. 50 gal. Tank. Looked up on internet. Figure myabe stressed after new tank mates. So I now for two months I have had a divider in. I know this may sound crazy but I think I can see small white worms and see through jelly fish like thngs in the water. I also tride to feed the angel some seaweed and bloodworms. Like it said to in some articles. I try every 2 to 3 weeks trying to get most of the waste out of the tank.How often are you doing the water changes? 25% isnt really enough
Tryied to take pics of jelly things. With no luck. They are not attached to the glass.So a 75% water change right away. Could you post a pic of the worms? It might be detritus worms or hydra.
In the future up the water changes to 50% weekly

Do you think the angel is too far gone? I read it is almost always fatal. It does see thinner.Tryied to take pics of jelly things. With no luck. They are not attached to the glass.
