Maybe I'll see if he'll come out and I can do a FW dip on him.
That will tell you for sure if he has flukes. You should see them flying around like in the video below:

Are you equipped with a good amount of QT space?
(All disease is attributable to stress and diet, so don't lose sight of that while you work through this! Good luck!)
Humble. I'm still confused. How would you remove flukes if the have infested the eye? I'd assume they bred in his gills and are on the inside of the cornea? I get that n if they are in the gills or attached to the body but... I'm i just misunderstanding this? Thanks for the real article on flukes though, it was really helpful. Your the best
I totally get that but the 4th or 5th post shows a.picture with Flukes on the inner recess of the eyeball, underneath the cornea. I get that skin and gill (external flukes can be dipped or prazi d and fall off. The flukes Insidee the eye, while the Prazi may kill them, would they not just die inside the eyeball and cause blindness in that one eye? Or is the cloudiness a symptom as.the U of F article mentioned? I am Just trying to picture how they come out, and think maybe that's what the simple article I originally posted was getting at that said there is no known cure for Flukes in the eye. The key word being, inside. I will just accept whatever but as a Science nerd I have been thinking about this (way tio much obviously) and tying to wrap my brain around this.These are an external parasite. The freshwater dip will knock most of them off the fish and give the most immediate relief. You'll have to dose prazipro to finish them off. You'll dose it twice, 5-7 days apart with a water change in between.
