sick pomacanthus narvachus

[beuchat]

Hi guys,

I has this pomacanthus narvachus since march this year. After two weeks in the tank had popeye. I could not treat and after one month disapear,later had a white patches covering the side of his body and and the fin.

I removed from the tank and treated with a 7 minutes fresh water dip (I thought they were flukes) with no effect

I treat with praziquantel the aquarium at 3 mg/l , double dose in two days, with no effect.

I have removed it and is in QT with a Paracanthurus hepatus.

¿Any ideas about the illness and how to treat?

Thanks a lot!

finrot, you need maracyn-2. follow instructions on the box.

It looks like lymphocystis to me, which isnt curable but will go away with good water quality, good food and low stress.
