Flukes in bag from DD

[Lebreton33]

guys I’m acclimating a diamond tail from DD and his bag has flukes. I’m adding to a qt and I plan on treating with prazi ASAP when he eats. Should I just add him? I’m worried about a freshwater dip, I’ve never done one and I don’t want to risk shocking him. Please help ASAP! Thanks!!!

Can you post a picture? Can you see flukes on the fish itself, or just stuff floating around?

One grabbed my pipette when I was testing sg. I put the pipette in fresh and he bailed off the pipette in 4 mins

Don’t see any visible on the fish

Thanks so much for your quick help btw!

Is that a fluke? I'm not sure. Did it come off of a fish? See any like it on the fish?
I've got a DD shipment coming today. ;Shifty

Not sure. I thought it was but am I wrong? Experts?

I also have a shipment this week both tangs (lavender and scopas). I do a freshwater dip with methylone blue though but I am a bit nervous since my last shipment from them didn't turn out well (purple tang).

Doesn’t look like a fluke, but there have been some suspect “brown lumps” seen recently... that are VERY difficult to get rid of.

OP, does it look like this?

 

[Lebreton33]

I'd say it does not look like the pic you posted. It's not uniform in shape like that, it's rigid around the edges and not oval or circular. As I said, fish had none so I added and plan to start prazi as soon as he eats for a day. So you don't think it's a fluke tho?

 

[ngoodermuth]

No, I don’t believe so. Flukes look like this:

Ok thanks. I truly hope it's not this brown lump you mentioned. As I mentioned there are none on the fish presently visible but you know how that goes...Is there no way to treat them? Is there a thread dedicated to them? I'd like to see some more pics. Thanks so much for your immediate help, I truly appreciate it!

There was a couple threads that popped up at once a few weeks ago. I’m not sure they were updated recently... I’ll have to go back and check in.

I think if it’s not attached to the fish you are probably ok. These were attached like glue.

Ok thanks again!
