Flashing and Tank Transfer

[Huskymaniac]

so I have been feeding my doliatus rabbit live macro and must have transferred ick, velvet, or flukes into my tank. I removed all my fish and they are in cupramine at 0.5. It's been 2 weeks and they are still flashing pretty good. Prior to moving them in to the QT I treated with Prazi and then formalin bath prior to going in QT. I attached a photo, are the white spots flukes? Next Sunday which will be day 21 I am going to move the fish to a new QT tank. Since they are still flashing should I FWD dip them or use formalin prior to moving them? I am not exactly sure what I am treating other than more than one fish are gill scraping and my neon goby has been working non stop.

The white spots at the bottom is more than likely flukes. Copper can cause fish to flash. However the recommended treatment time for most people here is month of copper and then treat for flukes after. I'd just finish this run of copper and then treat for flukes in a new tank

I was only going to do 14 days because I was going to be ove them to a sterile qt tank. I am thinking I should formalin dip them before moving to new tank and then again a week later. Prazi. It seems like prazi didn't work on these guys? Not sure though if a FWD is just as effective as a formalin dip.

I was also thinking about doing a Fenben bath as well.
