@Humblefish you get my pm?

Maybe someone else can help while I wait.

I purchased two butterfly fish at separate times, they have been in QT under observation I noticed some reddish colored marks about the size of a pin head on one of them and he wasn't eating today. I did a freshwater dip several clear colored "things" came off him leaving several marks on the butterfly even some serious redness under the gills that was not there prior to the FW dip I assume this was caused by the parasites leaving the fish. he died about 2 hours later now the other bigger fish is showing the red marks. Do I do a dip or let the prazi pro work?
