My scopas tang started scratching and quick dart swimming about 2 weeks ago very randomly. Was eating like crazy then suddenly stopped eating a few days ago. I noticed rapid breathing along with keeping his mouth open and swimming in a “dazed” state. No white spots or peeling. I did notice one day one of his bottom fins had a slight tear but healed by next day. I also started a terrible outbreak of dinos about the time he started not eating. My nutrients bottomed out. I started running UV to help with the dinos and ran a blackout for one day. When I noticed how quickly the tang was detiorating I stopped the UV and dosed Prazipro to the tank. He started shaking his head so I was hopeful it was flukes and he would be on the mend. Today he hasn’t made much progress and is losing color. I definitely see white coloration behind his gills which I’m assuming is mucus. He is also showing white steaks through his back fin. No grains of salt or dots anywhere on him. Any help or advice on what else I can do or any diagnosis would be greatly appreciated.
