Fish still eating well. Dosed metronidazole (70%) powder at 3gm AM am PM for 7 days on advice from the discus importer from whom I bought the fish. Also per his recommendation raised temp to 92F.
Fish tolerated it well but stool sample from ARSG still showed cryptobia last night. Attempted pic with phone with marginal success.
In the video the cryptobia are not well focused. They swim fast and are the larger objects that periodically swim through the field of view at 8 sec and 51 sec marks.
Compare a better you tube showing the same organism:

Per http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/vm077
"a bath treatment with dimetridazole (80 mg/L for 24 hrs, followed by a 80-100% water change, repeated daily for 3 days);"
So 40 gallons would be 151 liters. Therefore I will dose 6gm q 12 hours.
