Because this is a FOT, I only use white light, so the sand looks white, but actually is brown. (well in the video the color is a little bit different from reality) The water is old water from another tank. Also the tank already run more than a month. At the beginning I add these fish in, they didn't breathe heavily like this....I see bright white rock and sand. How long has this tank been running? Week or 2?
Can you do a small favor - it might not change what I said - but could you provide a 1. this happened first, then 2. this happened next. Something like that (EDIT - I.e. a 1. 2. 3. - of what happenedSo you think I should go through another copper treatment now? Or after prazipro treatment? (yesterday I dosed the 1st dose)
Yes. I would repeat your QT protocol - I re-read the other posts - so I would say yes. Re-do - though its a hassleSo you think I should go through another copper treatment now? Or after prazipro treatment? (yesterday I dosed the 1st dose)
You mean provide a "1. this happened, then 2. this. " description for all have happened?Can you do a small favor - it might not change what I said - but could you provide a 1. this happened, then 2. this. Something like that
Begin copper right now? No need to wait for finishing the 2nd prazipro?Yes. I would repeat your QT protocol - I re-read the other posts - so I would say yes. Re-do - though its a hassle

Not sure it depends on a better history - can you let everyone know what is happening now?Begin copper right now? No need to wait for finishing the 2nd prazipro?
Ok I will write a more logical history.Yes

if you look at my signature you can see a list of questions that can be helpful.Ok I will write a more logical history.
But in a word, breathe heavily is the only symptom right now, and the videos are taken when I post the thread(1 hours ago)
Wasn't meant to be criticism . Breathing difficulty is either. A GILL issue (toxin, parasite,) or low oxygen. Given the history - I would suggest an illness.Ok I will write a more logical history.

Before prazipro, I have a hob filter and protein skimmer, and the only 3-4 fish there. Now since I dosed prazipro, so I stopped using skimmer and add 2 air stones. Do you think I should add more? Or start protein skimmer?Prazi can lower oxygenation of a tank pretty heavily which wouldn't help. I know the people here know what they're talking about, but I wouldn't necessarily want to dose prazi again while everything seems to be breathing fast without increasing gas exchange pretty aggressively with a couple air stones, a skimmer, or another powerhead or 2 pointed at the surface. I'd especially be concerned since all the fish are breathing hard. I'd more lean oxygenation than EVERY ONE of the fish has gill fluke
I would say before this happen they doing very well with each other. And again this is a temporary observation tank not DT.You have two FF in there…..with a yellow?
Wow!
That’s maybe why everyone is freaked?
Can’t see that working, I separate them all
No worry I know you are helping me not criticism! I just went to LFS to test water again, ammonia is 0, nitrite is 9, nitrate is 25. A little bit high, but may not be the reason. LFS suggests me to do a large amount water change and add some methylene blue, do you think it would help?Wasn't meant to be criticism . Breathing difficulty is either.

I wouldn't keep switching meds. Also, the parameters don't seem like a concern at those numbers. As @MnFish1 raised concerns about would be if initial quarantine failed for some reason, it may be best to finish the prazi treatment. During this time carefully monitor and decide if maybe another treatment of copper may be warrantedNo worry I know you are helping me not criticism!

You can use the skimmer - but allow that 'skimmate' - to fall back in the tank - if your situation allows that.Before prazipro, I have a hob filter and protein skimmer, and the only 3-4 fish there.

This is the first thing I thought of.add an air stone
You can keep your skimmer on (depending on the location) - but take off the collection cup. - as said above - and iMHO you can take away at least one of the air stonesBefore prazipro, I have a hob filter and protein skimmer, and the only 3-4 fish there.
