Tinker Butterfly with cloudy eyes

[DeltecRules]

Hi, I have had a tinkers butterfly for the past couple of weeks. He has developed cloudy eye and the other one looks like its getting a little cloudy. I tried treating my tinkers with maracyn plus liquid and after three days the eyes are still cloudy. He is still eating like a pig. Its a possibility I might have flukes. I would like to double treat my tinkers with maracyn 2 (tabs) and prazi pro. Would these two medications mix okay? I used prazipro in the past and it has worked wonders. I also have a mitratus butterfly, 4 pairs of fairy wrasses, blue flasher, flame wrasse who seem uneffected in a 210 gallon system. I have no corals at all. Any advice would be appreciated.

If one has flukes then you need to treat all of them.

I've used Prazipro, Maracyn II and Cupramine at the same time with butterflies, angels, clowns and wrasses with no issues.

I treat EVERY single fish I get with Prazipro. Flukes is everywhere and not many treat for it.

So what happened with the Tinkers?

Maracyn 2 cleared it up in 3 days. He is looking great!! Thanks.

Cool. Just be on the lookout for the flukes. They are everywhere. Starts at Major distributors/Wholesalers and goes on from there.

LargeAngels,

I would strongly second that - and add that Tinkers and mitratus are prone to getting Neobenedinia flukes, which the first symptom is cloudy eyes.
