Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding appropriate medicating...
I have a bristlenose tang with ich and recently confirmed flukes, also white poop, the works. I am 2 weeks into treating with copper only. The ich is all gone visibly so I’m happy to see he has some relief. However he has been shaking his head a lot more then recently so I gave him a dip, confirming flukes. He looks much better now, has been eating like a champ. My questions;
1. Should I wait until after 30 days of copper treatment to start fluke treatment?
2. Should I use prazipro to treat the flukes? Or General cure to treat flukes and assumed internal parasites?
3. Should I feed General cure soaked foods for internal as well as dosing the tank with prazi/ GC? Would that cause on OD?
4. Is soaking the food more effective or just dosing the entire tank? Or do both?
Thanks a bunch!
