Is this anything I should worry about?

[Charlyc11]

She has been sick shy and hiding in a corner but after a full Prazi (7 days) and afterwords a Metro treatment (8 days) she is eating again. Her grills look kind of strange but she looked like that for a while. Her partner is just fine and doen't show any sign of this. Is this normal? I am not posting a full profile just wan't to identify if the grill has a problem.



She usually eats out of my hand but she stopped that for about 4 weeks. Now after the mediation she is starting to eat like that again.

It's a long standing gill fluke infestation, I uses PP but there are other treatments that work on gill flukes. Don't expect that her gills will go back to normal after you treat but if you don't treat her the gills will get worse,

[Charlyc11]

I already did 7 day gill fluke treatment should I start a new one?

[LizStreithorst]

What did you use to treat?

[Charlyc11]

I used FLUKE X (PRAZIQUANTEL) did a water change after 7 days in 75 gallon tank. I also have PraziPro that I haven't used.

What did you use to treat?

[Charlyc11]

I prefer to do the whole tank since I have 3 pairs of PBR's , 5 Cories and 3 ABN's.

Do you think the grills are already damaged and another treatment won't help.

[LizStreithorst]

Yes, but I'd still like to know what drug you used. Is the fish still flashing against objects

[Charlyc11]

Like I said above PRAZIQUANTEL. No never did that, started eating still a little shy but she lets me hand feed again.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. The reluctance to eat might be a problem, but sometimes it takes a while for a fish to get over the treatment and start eating again. I'd just do clean water and keep a close eye on it for any changes.
