New Emperor's eye

[kirkaz]

Got a Juvi Emperor last Friday, his left eye is looking bad. Not sure if perhaps I scratched it when I netted him out of the drip bucket, perhaps flukes, or cloud eye, or something else.

He has been eating well enough, though he rarely comes out of the corner. My Asfur Angel was a bit nasty at first, but believe it or not my Sohal protects the Emperor from him now.

I have Prazipro coming probably either tomorrow or Thursday, would this be a good way to go at this point?

First pic was taken shortly after entering the DT, the second 2 were today, sorry I couldn't get a better one, hope they are clear enough.

Thanks

Kirk - it looks like Flukes. Even if it isnt, I would medicate the tank with the Prazi Pro to ensure.

I would also take out the emperor and prepare a FW dip with the Prazi Pro. Your guy should be much better once this is done.

As per Campbell (the Angel Expert) and an email to Mark Martin of Blue Zoo Aquatics (the complete SW fish expert), I have given the Angel a FW dip. It was kind of cool, upon going into the FW, he laid on his right side at first and I could actually see one of the flukes peeling off. I left him in for 4 and a half mins., upon return to the tank, it took him awhile to catch his breath, but his eye now looks better and he seems a bit more comfortable, I could see several flukes at the bottom of the bucket:eek1: I will treat the tank with Prazi in a few days when it arrives.
