Is my lyretail sick or is she transitioning to male

The whole DT needs to be treated in case they are egg laying flukes, otherwise the fish can just get reinfected.
No treatment is completely risk free, but healthy corals will not be affected by a properly done prazi treatment. There will be some nutrients entering the system due to the solvent used, similar to carbon dosing. Discontinue any carbon dosing before and during a Prazipro treatment.

Well guys my first ever anthia didn't make it she died last night. Now i have two fish left in the ring of fire. they are 1 clown and a 1-inch lyretail anthia. so far from what i can tell seem flawless with great swimming and eating habits. but what do I know. What is the recommended next move do i take them out and treat them with prazipro or do i let it ride ?
Thanks in advance .

can flukes kill a fish?

can flukes kill a fish?

Yes - flukes almost always kill fish when an infection gets going in a small aquarium with newer fish. It can take weeks though. In large aquariums (thousands of gallons) fish can live with fluke infections for some time.

The prazipro treatment would be the next step here.
