Fairy wrasses with white film

[DeltecRules]

Slowly my fairy wrasse population has been dying one by one over the past few weeks. My fish are developing a white film, pale color on there body, including cloudy eyes. Darting around the tank and lack of appetite. I am thinking this is some kind of bacteria infection or possibly some kind of flukes. Any suggestions on what I might have or any possible medication I might be able to use? I was thinking of treating my tank with fluke tablets and maracyn 2? Any suggestions?

flukes brother, flukes. I wish i had a better camera to show you the flukes that came off my labouti wrasse when I gave him a freshwater dip........had the same symptoms as you described. I'd say about 50 of these white looking flatworms came off the poor fish. QT, freshwater dips, and Prazipro.

use sg maracide for infections of CHILODINELLA.............CHILODINELA- an external parasite causingthe fish to secrete excess mucous , resulting in the appearance of a bluish-white film on the of the fish .in severe conditions the skin peels off,gills are damaged and the fish dies
