I would do the Triple Threat then: Furan-2 + Kanaplex + Metroplex
NFG is this antibiotic mix: http://store.nationalfishpharm.com/NFP-products-Nitrofuracin-Green-59584.Item.html
Very useful for treating infections angels & butterflies typically get.

ok did the bath last night for an hour. I am ordering the NPG... but don't think I can wait for it.. Last night added Furan2. today will add the Kanaplax and Metro also.
this morning is not looking better... looks like a second one is developing above the top..
looking at the pics... can this be flukes with a secondary bacteria infection?
If so can we do prazi and antibacterial meds together?

I just noticed on my container of API general Cure .. I forgot .. I used this in the past.. it is actually metro and prazi..
So I guess my question in addition to the above is
can we mix Furan2 + Kanaplex + General Cure (Merto and Prazi)
thanks

Tang, Angel, and Wrasse Nerd!
Yes you can. You’d be better off with pure metro (less is more sometimes) but you can. Make sure you increase oxygen saturation of the water (air stone or aim powerhead up to breakwater surface)

Beautiful angel!
About 8 years ago, I had one in QT for 15 days where it didn't make it out of. She was infested with flukes and then developed a secondary infection. Don't think I can bear to spend that kind of money on one fish again.
In your corner for the recovery of the angel.

Yes, but I would perform a FW dip first to confirm flukes: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/
If no flukes show, only dose Furan-2, Kanaplex, Metroplex (for the infection.)
It's never a good thing to dump too many meds on a sick fish if you can help it. If you can avoid having to use praziquantel, then that's one less med his liver & kidneys has to filter.

little up date.. I ordered the NFG. in the meantime.. I treated with Furan2 and kanaplex and day later with General Cure from API (its prazi and Metro). I did two rounds.. each round was day 1. Furan2. Day 2 GC. Day 3 sit. do nothing. Day 4 25% water change. Day 5 Furan2 Day 6 GC. Day 8 50% water change. start over again next morning on Day 9 ->
Then did it all again. he is looking better after these two rounds.. (totally four treatments of each med)
I can still see the wound or infection site but the redness is gone and bump on head which appeared to be another infection site is gone.
Question .. do I need to do another round./
my NFG arrived .. should I switch over to that..?
Kinda think stay with what is working and do another round.. cant hurt and he is eating.
thanks
