Kole Tang may have Flukes?

[kreativemike]

Hey guys .. about a year into the Hobby and I can definitely say it has its fair shares of TRAILS AND ERRORS! ...

Other day I got a Kole Tang, I placed him in my QT tank (water para. ph. 8.0 , AM 0 NI 0 NA 0) .. (I got one after losing an Expensive Flame Angel and Kole Tang) ... He seemed to have these bumps on him. I did my regular copper treatment of up to a week and a half .. the bumps still remianed. I thought maybe it was just some bumps that could have been on this Kole Tang in particular .. I went away for a few days over the Thanksgiving Holiday and found him pale yesterday. Saw him acting weird, he was twitching, breathing a bit awkward and he's really really pale. I checked it out online and it is giving hints to the "Flukes". I did a Freshwater dip lasting about 4 minutes and 30 seconds on its side but after swam around and after the timer was up I got him and placed him back in QT. He still looks the same, still is pale but I want to make sure these bumps are flukes and that Freshwater Dipping will work. Also, can anyone verify how many days should one Fresh water dip. I attached some pictures for guys to see the "bumps". Also if you recommend any medicine I can buy and use, that will be great.

If it is indeed flukes, two rounds of Prazipro should take care of it. Just follow the directions on the bottle. When you did a FW dip, did anything fall off?

I dont think I "seen" anything fall off, and do you know where I can buy Prazipo?

Most LFS carry it. You won't find it in the big box pet stores like Petco or Petsmart.

I too have a kole tang that is not normal. it seems to o pale at night and colors back up during the day.....but it has a noticeable amount of quick stops with the cleaner shrimp. I am definitely concerned as none of the other fish pale or color back up in any way out of the ordinary. breathing is normal and swimming behavior appears normal as well. water params are satisfactory....morning, day, and night, fluctuations are minimal as i have light my sump at night and have minimal ph, alk, ca, swings. my mg was a little higher than norm at 1450, but i cant find anything that would suggest mg being a cause.

any ideas
