Give the PT some rest and add a drop or two garlic to the food to soak in or justvin the water.
Sometimes it trigger them to eat.

Agree. Thanks. Any idea if the pics above are flukes?

No idea.
What ever it is it ain't on the PT as we speak.
Good job so far my friend.
Now don't rush with all kinds of meds.
Take your time about reading how to go about the next few days.

@dwest I'm not sure what to make of your microscope images. Below are microscopic images of Capsalidae, the most common family of monogeneans (flukes) found in saltwater:

This is what flukes look like in the freshwater dip container (visible to the naked eye):

Thanks. I’ve seen those pics before in your threads. Mine didn’t look that. So I will conclude no flukes on the PT from either of the 2 FW baths I have given him...

those slides do not look like flukes for sure even pressed between slides. fish does look like has bacterial infection which requires use of antibiotic to cure. i just glanced at the whole thread briefly but i would place it in a separate qt and treat with antibiotics.

I placed him in his own qt with Kanaplex. He kept going downhill and died 2 days later. Thanks for your help.
