My Punctato butterfly fish was scratching/flashing at the gills and showing signs of flukes. He was the only new addition to the tank in the last month (did not quarantine...I know I know). I have a 75 G tank with a 20 gallon sump. I dosed the tank with Prazi, did a water change five days later, dosed again with prazi, and now its been five days and my puffer is scratching. During Prazi treatment all scratching stopped and fish seemed healthy and happy. There's zero signs of ich or anything else in the tank. I've dealt with flukes before but its been a few years since I added something new in the tank so I thought maybe there is some new info out there.
Should I do a Prazi treatment, water change after 3 days and redose, and repeat again for a total of 9-10 days? I'm assuming that the eggs are hatching and evading the Prazi as it wears out.
