Well the male has crossed from "might have flukes" to "has flukes." I was looking at pictures of McCosker's flashers yesterday, and I noticed they all had a straight edged tail. Mine has had a jagged tail for as long as I can remember. It is such a perfect jag (like <a href="http://z.about.com/d/rubberstamping/1/G/g/0/-/-/scissors2sm.jpg">this</a>) that I thought it was totally normal and just more fancy finnage. I took a macro shot of it to see what it looks like up close, and well, there's my "ragged tail" symptom. Coupled with the breathing, I'm glad he's in prazi now.
Considering the clean water cured their condition so quickly, I still doubt they were bleeding out. However it could have easily compounded the stress of copper and be why the fw dip stressed him out so much.
They've been in prazi for 3 days in the most recent treatment now. All fish are still eating and are active. The only thing is earlier this morning, the male nearly had a heart attack when I fixed some eggcrate that fell over. He hid for several hours... He does this every time my hands go in the water. I wonder if being neurotic is a symptom of anything. :/
