![]() Ok so shaking of the head and flashing and body is pale. common signs of flukes I would get Prazi-pro
garlic extreme and selcon Meds will not do a thing against flukes. you can have it on have just in case If you dip a FW dip some of the flukes will come off and you can conferm that she has them this will also help while you are waiting to get some Prazi-pro. Prazi-pro dip is not a recommended treatment rather a tank treatment is recommended treatment the container says you can treat for 5 - 7 day I have done it twice and I would go for the full 7 day treatment. If you have to use the powder version it is the same treatment but you have to use it in a QT where you can use prazi-pro in the DT, I would only do this if you can not catch her quickly get her into a QT all treatment should be carried out in a QT if possible.

![]() Melifix is good for open wounds and fungus treatment and can aid with the fight against Ick. I have had to treat my DT with Prazi-pro before to treat for Flukes nothing died my Nem consumed him self for a while that is what my kids thought. the nem retracted and hid for the week I use prazi-pro and came out when treatment was over, about 2 days after skimmer and carbon was back in use. corals didn't really care about the treatment I think these are good things to know. as far as corals I had in the tank at the time there were:
montipora caps frog spawn and a hammer. some mushrooms some soft corals I had snails, shrimps and hermits which after the second or third day just climbed in their shells and waited till the treatment finished, I almost forgot about that. Bill Last edited by bvlester; 09-13-2010 at 04:16 AM. |

![]() Well the meds havent showed up yet. Its only tuesday anyway. The CB is looking sooo much better on her own. She isint as pale and is not flashing anymore. I havent seen her rubbing on anything yet either. she is still eating like a pig and swimming normally.
Im still going to treat her anyway. It looks like i will have to treat the entire tank though. Catching her is going to be pretty impossible lol |

![]() I would say good to hear sorry I have not been able to respond sooner as I have been doing some courses. Watch your tank in about 2 weeks if it was flukes it may come back the cycle can very but 2 weeks is a good time to pay extra attention to your fish. Feed them the garlic extreme and selcon it help them build their a-mun system and prevent disses like hole in the head. Things are very hard to give a treatment regiment advise over the internet I have come across a couple sites that no one will answer these types of questions unless you can provide all tank test results and a pic..
