You don't. But it's either that, or you risk whatever that fish just had, possibly coming back to haunt you.

Duane just gave some good advice on this. https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/main-tank-hospital-tank.688142/#post-7757763
Thank you. I guess I have a update after the two treatments and epsom salt he's been getting very thin and sickly looking won't touch pellets so today I thought maybe a frozen brine shrimp cube will entice him. Well he tore that thing apart lol. So I think I'm gonna just plump him back up on blood worms and brine shrimp until I can get him on pellets. Do you think that since he stopped pooping clear and is eating now he's better?
I've had him about a month and this is the first I've seen him eat. Is it ok to feed him frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms while I try to get weight back on him? I believe I read earlier in this post that they could upset his stomach more but that's all I've gotten him to eat and he starves himself otherwise.
Not sure if my existing fish or the new additions are responsible but it seems I have a bacterial/parasite in my 75gallon cichlid tank.
Seeing white stringy feces and the new fish are not eating and sticking to the bottom corners of the tank. Also noticing cloud eye on two of them.
I started treating yesterday with API General Cure and e.m. erythromycin. Should I be fine treating with Epson salt as well? What's the method for force feeding the Epson salt solution for the ones not eating? I saw there was a link on one of the first few pages of the thread but that appears to be dead now.

is my fh having hex or constipation. his belly bloated yesterday. when i noticed i didnt feed him since then. he did poop a normal poop las nite. but dis morning ive seen a stringy poop but not fully white.
as you can see here his anus a bit swollen and something popping out.
and from the lower view u can clearly see his big belly. his belly shrunken a bit from las nite.
should i just fast him more, feed him peas, bath him in epsom salt or give him soaked pellets? i feed him okiko and only tht for the time being, i think i overfed him and leads to this case. when can i feed him? and how much should i do water change? really need your help guys. i dont want to lose him.
