Just received a quoyi parrot and a tenneti tang. They are currently going through tank transfer. They arrived in hyposalinity and are currently at 1.011 sg. They are on there 2nd 3 day transfer, on day 5 of CP and day 2 of General Cure. The tang has visible ick spots that are falling off, now with just one remaining. The parrot has cloudy eyes with chunky white-streaked poop sticking out of him for hours at a time. The tang is eating NLS hex shield and PE mysis. The parrot is not eating yet. I am planning to continue CP for all 4 transfers and another course of general cure on the fourth transfer. I am thinking about waiting to raise the sg until tank transfer is over.

Do I need to be worried about the cloudy eyes and add an antibiotic? Or should I just wait and see?

Hi there, I am sorry for to hear about your troubles. TTM is great for eradicating ich but isn't great for eradicating other parasites such as flukes, velvet, brook, etc. CP however treats these alone without conducting TTM. So I am a bit confused unless I misread your initial thread.
 
Unfortunately, the parrotfish passed shortly after. I think too many flukes. The tang is out of tank transfer/CP/GC and now in observation. I was using both methods to doubly treat for ich, in case something got by one of the methods.
