Good evening,
I'm looking for recommendations after discovering multiple parasites several months ago.
Remaining inhabitants:
3 x Barr Goby
2 x Gold Head Sleeper Goby
2 x Percula Clownfish
1 x FireFish
1 x Midas Blenny
All fish began flashing on 12/1/2022. Attempted to treat DT with Reef Medic and Prazi Pro.
Removed from DT 1/31/2023, freshwater dipped, moved to newly setup QT.
20 gallon long with dry substrate and rock, HOB filter, powerhead, heater and air stone.
Parasite assessment and symptoms: Ich (salt grain sized spots, would disappear after a day), internal parasites (white stringy poop), flukes (flashing gills, nose, face).
Copper power maintained 2.0+ level for 30 days measured with hanna tester.
4 x doses of General Cure administered according to directions.
4 x prazipro administered according to directions.
Gill flashing continued.
Began hypo salinity 1.009 on 4/5/2023, no signs of stress, aggressively eating, plan to leave in hypo for one week total.
If no improvement would formalin be the next step?
Thanks,
John
