Hi All,
I am still at a total loss. None of my fish have died but have been through 30 days of Cupramine, 2 weeks of metro, 2 prazi treatments and a week of Kanaplex.
The white spots/patches on my clown have come and gone throughout this process and I have no idea what he helped or hurt them as they made an appearance during copper too.
Today/yesterday the same clown and copperband butterfly seem irritated and have rapid breathing. The butterfly even had one gill closed yesterday which prompted me to dose a third round of prazi out of desperation. The butterfly has no spots.
Do they have internal secondary infections and the clown is just showing it more externally too? I don’t know what else I can treat with besides formalin but at this point my DT has been fallow for 6 weeks so if I’m going that route, I might just put them back...
I’m so so frustrated because I’ve bought/treated everything in the book and am still seeing this. I bought separate equipment for the QT and it is on a separate floor of the house so zero chance of aerosol.
Here are pics to refresh. I guess my question is should I just do a formalin bath and proceed to DT or are there any other safer suggestions? I’m nervous to try hypo since I hear it’s challenging but also have no idea what to treat for.
