I have an Asfur angel that somewhere picked up flukes (not sure since I have only had him for 6 weeks and the other angel in the tank does not show signs).
I have tried 2 freshwater dips (first was a straight 80/20 fresh to salt bath second I added a small amount of Prazipro to the bath). I dipped borth times for 20 minutes each and watched in both amazement and sadness as numerous flukes bagan dying and faling off the fish. Flukes fell from his eyes, gills and even from under the scales.
I thought that typically the freshwater bath treatment was a one time thing, apparently not. Is there a better way to rid my fish of this pest?
Also, due to the infestation, one of the fishes eyes is completely clouded over. Will this go away on it's own or do I need to further medicate?
Thanks for your help.
