yes.
It's hard to be sure with nasos because they get those splotchy stress spots, but it sorta looks like the beginnings of a bacterial infection to me (more info below). Bacterial infections are common (as a secondary condition) when a fish is battling an ongoing parasitic or worm infestation.

Since you suggest that it is not a good idea to mix anti-biotics with Prazipro, how long should I wait until Prazipro wears off so I can treat him with another round of anti-biotics?
CP and Prazipro only. I am checking ammonia twice a week on this tank apart from the badge.
The 1% binder found in CP will sometimes cloud the water. This is normal. However, combining CP and Prazipro will often lead to a bacterial bloom, which starves oxygen out of the water and can turn dangerous. I DO NOT suggest combining those two meds in the future.
The cloudy situation is getting worse. The 50% WC helped only a little bit for while but now it looks terrible. Should I go for 100% WC?
They breathe fine but the water is so cloudy that they can't see. Did a 80% WC yesterday and it is little better. BTW it is 14 days tomorrow in copper. Should I begin removing the copper?Are the fish breathing heavy or acting fine?

It would be better to transfer the fish out of copper and into a holding tank. Two weeks may not be enough exposure time if the Cu level is dropped. By transferring the fish out, you are leaving any tomonts (which may not yet have hatched) behind in the original treatment tank.

I did a 50‰ WC and it looks little better. I still see brown deposits in the bottom. It is probably from the bacteria and hope it subsides soon.

Sorry my mistake. It is not CP & Prazipro. Coppersafe & Prazipro.
Ok. Guess I have to pull through another two weeks like this. Thank you for your response.OK I gotcha now. The problem is the Oxybispropanol (leftover from Prazipro) is still interacting negatively with Coppersafe, causing a bacterial bloom and thus cloudy water. A LFS I advise has this same problem when he mixes the two during his QT protocol, but he's never suffered any losses from it. Only thing you can do is perform water changes (and replenish the replacement water with copper.) Running carbon will clear it right up but will also remove some of the copper.
