I think you have a few things going on, I am pretty sure that’s velvet but the eye and tattered fin on the PT make me wonder about Flukes also.
When you do a WC are you predosing the new water so the copper levels never drop?
Was his eye like that when you dipped him? Have you added anything to QT with him after you dipped him?
No, I dipped them in FW and Arciflavine then he started developing the eye then I dose Kanaplex to combat the eye infection. It went away and now it’s come back.
This is why I asked how long they have been in copper. It could be an adverse skin reaction to the exposure of the higher level of Cu.A reaction to the copper overdose is something to consider as well.
I started my 72 day fallow period 3/19 ( if my math is correct ) i let the fish chill out in QT for about a week and a half befor I started copper treatment. I was slowly bringing up the copper when one day i came home and saw my fish covered in spots, that night I did a Fw dip and 90min acriflavine bath then put then back in QT, then the spots werent bad w the next few days, and i continued raising my copper levels, then the tang developed a very cloudy eye so i treated it with Kanaplex and it went away, a few days later it came back so I did another kanaplex treatment.@HotRocks @4FordFamily calling you guys in on this one...
Can you give us a timeline... with treatments that have already been given and when copper was started and brought to the current level, etc?
I honestly do not know could be days to a week or 2 i just got my checker today before I was using API.How long have the fish been at 2.74ppm?
When you dipped them did you find flukes?
How long has it been since you added any copper?I started my 72 day fallow period 3/19 ( if my math is correct ) i let the fish chill out in QT for about a week and a half befor I started copper treatment.

I did not see any.
Hey New Fish, You have a lot going on . Hang in there !
How long has it been since you added any copper?
If you have only been north of 1.50ppm for a few days it could be parasitic.
I did not but I will do another when I get home.I think the fact that the rally bath cleared it up for a few days... has me leaning towards brook. It can present differently with different fish, especially while suppressed with copper.
It’s definitely not ich or velvet with the copper level that high for a week... unless the test was off for whatever reason. Did you run it a second time to be sure?
