Dark spots appearing, super skinny, certainly has internal parasite
CAN'T POST IMAGES, WILL COME BACK AFTER I make some random posts around the forum.
There has not been anything external on the fish until this morning. Dark spots now. Any idea what it could be?
Feed frequent, water change frequent. He eats a lot and no filtration such as carbon or skimmer present in this 30g qt tank.
The tank has been set up and stable with corals for at least 5 months, likely longer.
Bought the fish on 5/3, a little over a month ago now. Has been eating very well. A yellow eye tang died in the tank about 2 weeks ago. I suspect there may be flukes.
The fish and tank have not been treated with anything yet. I am setting up a new QT tank to be fishless with water and sponge from a cycled established display tank. It will have low flow power head, heating element, and a temperature and pH probe from a controller. I plan to dip the fish in fresh water/myth blue and move it into the tank and see if I can get it to eat food soaked in prazi pro. If it won't eat with in 6 hours I will treat the whole tank for internal parasites according to the bottle. I also plan to head out in a moment and see if I can find Jungle's anti parasite food.
Any other suggestions/advice? Would you dip it with something different or run something like copper in the new tank? I have performed hyposalinity treatments sucsessfully in the past many times, but this does not appear to be crypto.
Please help.
