I have a Mccoskers and a jawfish currently in prophylactic copper treatment.

I made the mistake of using an existing HOB sponge and Seachem Matrixin the QT that was exposed to other fish who likely had Prazi resistant flukes. I subsequently treated those previous fish two 12 hour fendbenazole baths.

At the end of copper, should I treat the Mccoskers and jawfish with the fenbenazole baths instead of the standard Prazipro protocol due to their likely exposure to Prazi resistant flukes?

Thanks!

So to be clear, the sponge and matrix were not treated with fenbenazole? If so, yes. Treat the new fish, just to be sure.

Correct, they were not treated with Fenbendazole.

So skip the Prazipro in lieu of Fenbendazole, correct?

Yes, a 12 hour bath of fenbendazole. It is very gentle on sensitive fish like wrasse also.
