So, A year or two ago I thought I had flukes because one of my angel fish had popeye. Just one eye. I dosed prazipro in my display anyways just to make sure. The popeye got better over time, but only one eyes was popped out and it appeared to be an injury. The other eye never had any cloudiness. Fish have been great since then.
I've had anthias now for about 6-7 months maybe a little longer, and the mail suddenly developed acute popeye. One day it wasn't there the next it was. He sleeps in my stunner chalice so I thought it was another injury, either an attempt to jump out or just ran into something so I observed over the last 2 weeks and fed more frequently off and on. He's an extremely agressive eater. Eats non stop when I feed.
After 2 weeks though it wasn't better, in fact the bubble of his eye filled with fluid or something got all cloudy, and The flesh surrounding his eye got all white. Then I saw his other eye and it hasn't popped out but it's completely white. Then yesterday I noticed 2-3 wholes in his head with white worm like things coming out. There's no way I'm going to catch a male anthia. So, I took the measure of dosing my display with prazipro again and continuing twice a day feedings.
I'm also thinking of soaking my food with prazipro.
Would this hurt healthy fish or help get rid of any internal flukes in any of the fish?
Are there other display treatment options I have. I may have a prazipro resistent strain. . I hope not, but I dosed 90 ml (3 oz) in my 350. Waiting to see if it actually does anything for 7 days now. Then large water change and rinse and repeat. . .
