I have battled Flukes and Ich over the years with a variety of treatments, all of course in a QT. Most success was always with hypsalinity. Very recently, I've had fish in QT (55 gal) for over six weeks now at 1.026, and I thought I was done, having treated with CP, Cupramine, and Prazi....not!!! Interestlingly only angels are being affected with some form of infestation of more than 1 type of very hardy fluke as well as a really aggressive crypt. All angels dead within 1 day from the LFS. They arrive fine and then a loss of fins and tails within 6 hours or less. That was in a QT with full doses of cupramine, Prazipro, Chloroquine Phosphate. All other fish CBB, Fairy Wrasse, FoxFace are fine. This is only affecting the angels and it kills them within a day. Today I increased the recommended dose of CP from 10mg/L to 15mg/L and 1.5x the dose of Prazipro. In 6 hours a marked improvement in angel behaviour with fluke and crypt reduction. I use more than 1 QT tank all matured and cycled.
Over the past month I have lost, 2 juvenile imperator angels, 3 bicolor, 2 dwarf pygmy, 2 flame, 1 mature coral beauty, 2 iblie, 1 juvenile regal, 1 yellow tang, 1 mature hippo tang. Whatever this infestation is it is extremely aggessive. I've dealt with ich, flukes, velvet, in the past and have always been successful in treating it and never lost a fish...now losing fish is a daily occurance.
I will post update tomorrow to see if they survive the night,
