Flukes?

[sumpreef]

Should I still treat the main display with the second dose of Prazi or let it go since we are not that sure of the diagnosis being flukes anymore?

There is an old English saying, "in for a penny, in for a pound". The only drawback for doing the second dose of prazi is cost, if you already have it on hand, I'd do it.

Sounds good. Will dose the second dose. Was just worried about the corals but they seem to be doing ok for the most part

Prazi may cause some corals to retract for a bit, but it won’t kill them.

I agree prazi won’t harm corals long term.

Thanks for all your comments. Will definitely dose a second dose PraziPro in display at day 7.

Update regarding the tang. Last night, I transferred the tank to a hospital tank with fresh saltwater that was salinity and temperature matched and placed on the back with some established media from the display. I also added appropriate dosage of prazi for the hospital tank and also placed some abx powder dissolved in the tank. This is 1 bactrim ds tablet crushed and dissolved in about 9gallons of water… that’s all the abx I had and I wanted something broad spectrum knowing that there is not a lot of data on this for aquarium use.

The breathing has slowed significantly and it seems to have a better appetite than before. See video. Ammonia checked today and is 0. What do I do today? Should I do another dose of abx and prazi pro with a water change? Replenishing just for the amount of water changed or leave it alone?

See video

Now I’m not sure if it is the antibiotic that made the difference or if it is the prazi. Unclear why prazi would work in one tank, but not in the other tank. Again, no other fish are affected in the main tank and skimmer is on, but not collecting any skimmate and the carbon is all removed.

Cautiously optimistic….

I think that was too quick for an antibiotic to have helped. It’s also pretty quick for prazi to have helped much. Is there anything about the physical move itself that could have changed its condition? Better aeration, cleaner water, removal of some stressor?

Thanks! Not sure what could have been a stressor in the main tank. Trying to think. Same tank mates and no obvious bullying from anything else. No other fish was showing symptoms of o2 starvation and no change with aeration. If it was from physical stressor, I shouldn’t have seen the face twitching that was happening in the display tank? The face twitching led me to think some sort of physical gill irritation either protozoan or other?
