Hope everyone had a good holiday so far. Need some help on the ID of flukes.
Some background info:
I do not QT my fishes.
Bought a golden angel 2 weeks back, however my resident lemonpeel angel does like the new angel and viciously attacks it.
Managed to trap the lemonpeel and place it in an isolation box.
As I was also adding a new refugium to my tank, with free chaeto from my LFS, my lemonpeel went into the refugium.
After 2 weeks, the lemonpeel looked sluggish, had ick like spots and was flashing. It also it have a bad lesion at the side where the red flesh was exposed.
So on Monday, 23/12, i set quickly set up a 5 gal QT with HOB filter with the following medication:
Copper power 1.5ppm with Hanna checker (Plan is to increase slowly to 2.0ppm)
Seachem Kanaplex - one spoon full
Was doing a water change just now and noticed some transparent flakes at the bottom of the QT tank.
Question: My understanding is the copper power does nothing to flukes, so are these flukes or just scales of the fish??
I have API GC and prazipro on hand, but as the fish is weak and not eating, i am not sure of adding more medication in the QT tank.
Anyone had any suggestion what should i do next?
Cheers
Ming
