QT advise wanted

[GoldeneyeRet]

I am looking for a little help.

I have a Linespot Flasher, Yellow Assessor and Black barred circus goby in a 10 gal. QT. They have been there for 14 days. All three came from DD and have looked wonderful from day one. I finished TTM and dosed the first round of Prazi on Tues.( now Thurs) All three are eating and acting completely normal.

Until today when I noticed two things, The wrasse has white poop and the assessor has caudal fin damage. The assessor had a small section in its tail that looked like a bite when it arrived from DD, but has not gotten any worse until today. There is absolutely no aggression or even any dominance or posturing of any kind so I don't think it has been bitten, unless the goby did it at night.

I just ran two ammonia tests, both read zero. Seachem and Salifert. SG 1.025 temp 79. Both the wrasse and assessor are swimming, begging and eating perfectly normal. The goby is hanging under the heater like he has done every day. He looks good.

If the white poop is parasites, does that mean Prazi is not working? or does it mean the worms are dying and being expelled?

I am just looking for advice on how I should proceed. Thanks for the help!

id think it is the dead parasites being expelled. wait a few more days and see if it continues. my anthias (just finished QT) stopped pooping white stringy poop after around 3 or 4 days of my first PP dose.

Thanks Spar, that's what I was thinking as well but I wasn't sure if I was actually thinking that or just wanting that to be the case.

Anyone else out there agree with that or maybe have another idea?

Thanks for the help RC, as always, it is much appreciated.
