@Jay Hemdal....wow what a journey, learning experience without learning the what.
I have two, still young, blue green chromis (Fric and Frac, lol). The bg chromis has been sick much longer than the purple pseudochromis but we couldn’t catch it. It seemed to get better after I added the PraziPro but then went downhill again to the point my husband was able to just easily catch him with a net.
put him into the copper with the purple guy (who is looking better every single day) and was looking so bad was sure it would die before bedtime. Then I was certain we would wake up to a dead fish, but still alive, hanging out in the corner which actually isn’t totally odd behavior for my blue chromis. Had the lights off for an extended period of time to reduce stress, the purple fish has left him alone but when we turned the light on the blue chromis woke up and swam around a bit before returning to its corner. I threw in a couple of pellets and it definitely showed some interest so hoping when my husband feeds them the frozen, which he is going to soak in Focus, that it will actually swim around a bit more and eat.
I still really am not sure what the heck we’re dealing with. Everyone left in the DT is looking great. My husband just mixed up some fresh seawater so going to do a partial water change today, but not too big. I had an entire auto water change system set up that failed because the pumps that came with the ATO definitely junky and died rather quickly.
Just wanted to give a quick update and see if you had any more genius ideas. I’m still unsure about flukes though the symptoms seem to fit. I’m just hoping that since they seem to be doing ok in copper, and the purple one is MUCH improved that it’s something that is susceptible to the copper. Very odd. I just don’t want any more to die, at least not from disease
