What treats what disease? The short course.

[lagatbezan]

Angels and butterfly fish are noctoroous for flukes. You want to treat with prazipro or general cure. A minimum of 2 treatments 5-7 days apart. Sometimes a third one is needed as well. A 90 min bath in acriflavine will help deal with infection that can occur from the flukes while doing the treatment. You might have to use a trifecta of kanaplex, furan2 and metro after the Prazipro treatment to deal with any secondary infections. Prazipro will deplete oxygen in the water so make sure you airate the water by having a few airstone or facing a powerhead to the surface. ( same for when using most any other meds).

Bacterial infection

Bacterial infection

I have a flame angel that has been in a 20gal qt for 8 weeks. First two weeks were prazi. Next four weeks were cupramine. Around 3.5 weeks into cupramine, the tail fin looked like it had a bite taken out of it. i thought it was a bite from a blue throat trigger who was in qt concurrently.

At end of Cu treatment, I removed Cu with charcoal and out trigger into DT. Then I let the flame sit in qt for a week. (went on vacation during that week). When I returned, Flame has further tail fin erosion and is losing color in face and gills. He is also barely eating (mysis, rod's, or spirulina).

Thinking it is a bacterial infection, I have treated him with kanaplex and metroplex for a week. He does not look like he is getting better. Any thoughts?

Video attached.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like "battle damage" that has now gotten infected. I would QT and treat with neomycin (Seachem Neoplex). A 30 min Methylene blue bath might also help.
