      Powder Blue needs your help!

      I recently purchased this powder blue with ich from a lfs on here but i did it intentionally to save him. I acclimated him into my qt and started cupramine SLOWLY. He is in my 48" long qt at .25 cupramine and eating flake,pellets, mysis (soaked in selcon), but he has something on his face/side that i am unfamiliar with... I have dealt with ich before, but this doesn't look like ich to me, although i could be completely wrong! Any information on what to do to increase his health is much appreciated! BTW all parameters are stable and in check!

      SLIGHT BLACK DISCOLORATION ON DORSAL FIN!


      WHITE FLATWORM LOOKING PARASITES ON FACE!


      SIDE DISCOLORED (POSSIBLY FROM SCRAPING ON ROCKS)!


      THE TANG DOES SHOW SOME FLASHING AND MILD DARTING BACK AND FORTH (POSSIBLY FROM REFLECTION OF HIMSELF)... NO LABORED BREATHING AND HE IS STILL EATING.


      :thumb: THANKS!

      Looks exactly like my PBT when he gets Ich. Or it could be ammonia burn.

      Great job and determination in finding the right issue and course of treatment. I didn't know for sure but now I know what to look for and that is thanks to you posting this.

      Thanks guys! That is partially why i post these things. I am sprung on this hobby and i know others on here are as well
      I feels so good when you send hours to do some research and the treatment seems to be working. I have some cool pictures i will be uploading of the new cleaner wrasse i bought to help out the tang!

      My treatment in progress, took out the cupramine, and added prazipro/cleaner wrasse. The Flukes started falling off and the wrasse got to work! All my other fish dined on what was falling off , win for everyone!






      eating the leftovers!

      Yup. Was about to say flukes. That's gross that they were eating them. Lol

      On a side note, prazi doesn't kill flukes. It causes uncontrollable spasms in the flukes for ten hours or so and then they die from that.
