Hello:
I have a medium sized copperband that has been in 20g long QT with 4 black mollies and 1 strawberry pseudochromis. Wood airstone on 24/7 and using a Tidal 35HOB filter. Copperband has been in for 6 weeks. First dose of Prazi done 12/21 and second dose 12/28 based on Marine Parasite website recommendation. CBB has been eating well both black worms and fresh clams and is nice and plump. First dose of Prazi was 4.8ml in 20g water. I did 25% W/C and added carbon on 12/26 then removed carbon and added another 4.8ml on 12/28. Since starting the second dose, CBB mouth stays partially open and appears to have difficulty feeding. Taking some black worms but not able to "slurp" them as well as before and seems to be missing them when he tries. Getting about 20% of what I am feeding him. All the other fish seem perfectly fine. Water is a bit cloudy but that happened after the first time I dosed the Prazi as well. Other than the eating, the CBB seems perfectly fine, no blemishes, maybe breathing a bit faster, seems hungry and wants to take food. Any suggestions? Thank you for any advice.
