Bro, that is a nice Magnifica.

He's sick, and I can promise you that. 100% sure because H. Magnifica's are mostly all I keep other than S. Gigantea.

He needs to be treated ASAP. Cipro is the best drug for mags.

250mg per 10/G. 7 full days of treatment with 1-2 water changes daily. Change water when it gets cloudy.

Turn ur lights off for the first 24 hrs. Then low for the next 12, and start increasing after that.

I can almost promise you that this one will make it and respond to the antibiotic.

How long has the tank been running? Do you have 5/g or 10/g hospital tank with small powerhead and heater?

Text me if you need advice or for any questions and I can help you save him. I hate when mags die. He's very nice!

Also, while your treating this mag, you need to do a 50% water change or larger in that display and he'll do a lot better when he comes out of the treatment tank. If you get the water cleaner, it will help him stabilize. Trust me.

Okay. Update. Mag is in hospital having a cipro treatment. Looking great after 4 days.

Okay. Update: after 8 days in hospital with cipro treatment the little guy went back into the tank. Within an hour got himself to a high point and looks very happy. Thanks again REEFAHHOLIC.
