@vetteguy53081 @Jay Hemdal and anyone else with recommendations
I purchased a Regal Angel friday and placed into a 40b. Sunday I added a male bluethroat. This thread details everything up to today with requests for recommendations for food to a bulging eye. There are video observations for swimming habits and the eye.
I came home and prepared food this evening after work and he looks a bit worse. There are spots on his tail fin and one pectoral fin looked a little frayed. I plan to do a freshwater dip to rule out flukes. Here's the questions:
Caveat - I've never QT'd or treated and learned the hard way halfway through 2023 when Jay helped me with how to take the 120DT into hypo. Trying to do things properly this time around.
I pulled a 20long from the attic and have 15g salt made up. I've just made enough RODI to fill a blue bucket to ~6-8inches.
1 - Once I place the angel in the FW for 5 min, does he go directly back into the QT or do I have to worry about acclimation?
2 - If flukes are confirmed do I also need to transfer the trigger into the 20 long?
3 - can I treat with general cure or use prazi?
4 - If flukes are confirmed - do I need to also treat the original 40g QT?
5 - If flukes are not confirmed - any recommendations? Just throw into the 20g with fresh salt mix and see what happens? Note - the only thing nearby is petsmart so no maricyn, only maricyn oxy. I just got back from purchasing another hob filter, heater, air pump, air stone, thermometer etc. for the additional QT.
I'm not very optimistic but need to try.
Thanks!
