Fenbendazole is dosed at 125mg per gallon for a 12 hour bath,and be aware it doesn’t dissolve well so you’ll have to work at it. I used a 5G bucket with 4G of water in it.
Make sure you aerate the water well with at least an air stone.

I have some unfortunate news to share, Mr Yellow Tang passed away.
I did give him a 90 minute bath in fungus cure and started his antibiotics. He looked progressively worse throughout the night and was breathing heavy so I also gave him oxygen and kept an eye on him until about after 4am before going to bed. My wife and I just woke up and discovered him

On a positive note, baby Dory is doing well this morning. I'm going to try to get a better look in a little while but it looks like her infection is getting better

@ngoodermuth @Frtdrmrose7 @HotRocks @4FordFamily Do any of you have any experience or thoughts on using albendazole or mebendazole to treat prazi resistant flukes? I would be able to get either of these sooner than the fenbendazole will get here
I’m sorry to read this... we probably should have started the antibiotics in the beginning, it’s just hard to tell sometimes and unfortunately by the time it’s “clear” that something is needed it is often too late
RIP yellow tang, he had a much better shot with you than where he was. Valiant effort...

Thank you. I know antibiotics aren't something we want to administer unless they are needed, I was trying to keep a close eye on him and he seemed to be making so much improvement until yesterday.I’m sorry to read this... we probably should have started the antibiotics in the beginning, it’s just hard to tell sometimes and unfortunately by the time it’s “clear” that something is needed it is often too late

I’m so sorry to hear this. You did everything and anything that could be done!
Yeah this sucks. We were all pulling for him. You did everything right and he certainly had the best shot with all the great advice given here as well as your tenacity. If anything, this thread taught many of us a thing or five!

...and for a lil’ diversion....
Last night, I moved my yellow tang from his hospital tank after (hopefully) a successful treatment with copper for Velvet. Thank you Cupramine & Hanna HR Copper Checker.
Still pulling for you, Dory. You can do it!
