Oh wow for real!? Fish has been flashing for weeks. Failed copper x 2 rounds, prazi, GC, hypo x 1 month, formalin immersion. After FW dip and MB immersion it’s behavior has changed and I’m hoping its better now.

Prazi should work. Starts to take effect day 3-4 and you want to treat at least 10 days

I was informed that anchor worms are only found in freshwater. Is this not true?
