I have a purple firefish that was flashing for months with absolutely no other symptoms. Eating agressively, color great and acting normal except for the flashing on the substrate. Before introducing him I had him in QT for 5 weeks with no flashing observed. When I introduced him to the DT there were already a pair of OC clowns in residence. They have never shown any symptoms of anything never flashed at all. After introducing the firefish to the DT I purchased a Royal Gramma and had him in QT for over a month with no symptoms observed. All this time the firefish was still flashing with no other symptoms at all. I sutpidly thought nothing of the flashing (mistake I know) and put the RG in the DT after his 5 week stint in QT. After a week or so I noticed them both flashing! ugggh... but never any symptoms from the clowns. I dosed with Prazi in the DT with a little higher dose then recommended and didnt help the flashing. I read that it may take a few rounds so I did it a secont time after 4 days and a water change. When dosing I immediately saw the firefish react by vibrating his whole body. The flashing on both the Firefish and the RG stopped for more than 24 hours then started up again. So I dosed a third time with double the dose and same results...no flashing at all for over 24 hours then started up again. All the while nothing at all from the clowns. Should I dose a 4th time after waiting 5 days? There are no visible signs of ich so I assume its some kind of flukes since the Prazi seems to be effective for at least a short period of time.
I know that you have to dose Prazi in more than once to distrupt the egg cycle but for how long?? Really getting frustrated becasue I have a Midas Blenny and a Chromis in QT that are ready to go in to DT but I dont dare make that mistake again. Really would like some advise here.
Thanks in advance!
