I have an adult H. melanurus that has started a strange behavior in the DT.
He paces back and forth rapidly in the center front of the tank just above the sand bed.
Then he throws himself against the sand bed kicking up sand everywhere.
He appears to be breathing fast, almost gulping.
No color change or spots are noted. There is no way I'm going to catch him to do a fresh water dip unless I get lucky and see where he beds down for the night.
Does this sound like activity that could indicate flukes?
He has been in the DT x 12 months. He went through two courses of TTM due to his tank mate dying after day 3 during the first course of TTM and the replacement also died on day two of the second round of TTM.
He was treated with Prazi Pro twice while going through TTM.
I suppose if he has flukes now he caught them from some other fish in the DT that didn't get Prazi during TTM/QT.
I'm going to dose the DT with Prazi Pro tomorrow unless someone has other suggestions.
