13. a. Any abnormal signs/symptoms?
Left side swollen bulge, scales stick out. "Puss" or something white coming out.

Hemorrhages at the base of his scales, fins and mouth.
Today he seemed listless, perked up for feeding time but then sat back on the bottom of the tank about an hour later.

14. a. Have you treated your fish ahead of diagnosis? Yes, I was advised by someone on another forum. It is a 3 day treatment, finished today without improvement, I have been advised to continue the treatment for another 3 days. I will always ere on the side of caution when it comes to medicating fish, but I don't think I have time to wait for a proper diagnosis, I think he is dying.
b. What meds were used? Yes - eSHa 2000, 3ppt aquarium salt
Oct 21st: 5tbsp salt to 100L, 30% water change
Oct 22nd: 3ppt salt (300g per 100L), fed peas only, 30% water change
Oct 23rd: eSHa 2000 24 drops, salt 3ppt, fed peas only
Oct 24th: eSHa 2000 12 drops, salt 3ppt, fed peas only
Oct 25th: eSHa 2000 14 drops (2 extra accidentally), salt 3ppt, fed Repashy supergold
15. Insert photos of fish in question and full tank shot if necessary.
Other information that might be pertinent: I think I used too much API Stress Coat & Stress Zyme, I used to use a double dose because I thought it was good for the tank. There is a slimly white film i've never seen before growing on one of the airstones, started growing a week or less ago.
