I have around 18 fish. I used three QT tanks while they were in quarantine. A 55, 90 and a 20 long. All have been up and running and established for about 10 months. I have moved most of my fish over to my display tank last month by using bio media from the already established tanks. All the tanks were treated simultaneously with copper and prazipro. They finished 35 days of copper power at therapeutic level in November. I haven't seen a white spot for four months. I feel the ich has been a eradicate. I think the problem I am having is with flukes. I assume that flukes is the problem. It seems I just can't get rid of them. All tanks have been through 3 doses of prazipro at the intervals suggested by the temperature chart. I redosed every 7 days for three doses. Then it seem about a month later I see the fish scratching at their gills. So I dosed prazipro again but this time no water changes in between doses. Three doses back to back every 7 days. So the other day I see about three of my fish scratching their gills again. Two in my display and one orange shoulder tang I still have in the 55g QT tank. I'm like here we go again. I have no Idea what to do. I started prazipro again. I haven't seen a white spot in months so I don't believe it could be ich. I don't believe it can be Trichodina because it is easy killed by copper and would have been wiped out along with the ich when I dosed copper power. So my only conclusion is more flukes. Is there a better way to kill flukes? Should I use something other than prazipro? I really don’t know what to do next.
