Help with Coral Beauty

[Xtremedave67]

Hello,

I bought a Coral Beauty last week, and transported him home. noticed a white speck on him that when I tried to look closer flaked off.
he is in a QT, and per a recommendation I did a 4 minute FW dip, to see evidence of several flukes maybe more.

he still isnt acting right, and now I am very concerned that in 6 days I have yet to see him eat, and BTW I noticed a hazyness to one eye yesterday too.

tried feeding Flake,pellet spirulina flake, frozen mysis and spirulina mysis and even tried chopped garlic

any ideas? thanks for any help

I usually soak my food in garlic extract like "Kents garlic xtreme" never tried chopped garlic.

How are your water parameters?

they were good last week, when I went to LFS today I forgot my sample.

I would do a treatment with PraziPro.

RBU thanks, my LFS suggested that too, and I did that last evening.......but now fish is swimming at top, not sideways or anything,but far different behaviour prior to now.

I am worried it is on his way out

 

[RBU1]

Well give it a day. If it was flukes the prazi work rather fast. If the fish is still around in 48 hours and eats you should be ok. I wish you luck.

Thanks anyway, unfortunately he didnt make it

Sometimes this hobby is frustrating.....
