I had this PBT in copper for 2 weeks and it started showing these marks on it's sides. I noticed little white things in it's eyes and assumed it was flukes. I treated with praziquantel 3 days ago and the white bits in its eyes have gone and the marks on the sides have improved but not completely gone. Should I wait a little longer or consider other options?

They are both eating, although the Kole is much more enthusiastic. No signs of similar issues with the Kole at all.
 
That patch looks bacterial. It may take a while to heal on its own. If it keeps getting worse then I would dose antibiotics - metro-kana-furan likely for 10-14 days.

In addition to treating the water column with those antibiotics, you can add them to frozen food with the addition of sachems focus. It will bind the medications to the food and work inside out.

Good-luck!
