Hi everyone
It all started with my six line wrasse that did not eat and swim - I pulled it out the tank and treated with Paraguard as that’s all I had on hand . Next day fish was dead . Then noticed one clownfish had pimple like spots and yellow watchman goby had similar lesions to six line - moved all fish to qt tank and was told it was brooke by a fish store and to dose with anti bacterial by nt labs - yellow watchman is now dead - clowns are fine but purple fire goby is breathing hard at the bottom of the tank - now I’m told it’s flukes so I managed to get PraziPro and have dosed it . Please help with disease ID and what to do


Thanks in advance

The firefish looks really thin. Other than that, I can't see much in the videos. Prazipro is probably the best course of action.

If you want to dive into the issue further, we would need full background info on the fish and the tank:

Did you do a water change when switching medication and how did you dose the PraziPro?
Was NT labs medication also applied to the tank?
