Prazi resistant flukes experience thread

[Frtdrmrose7]

So - 30 days copper power >1.75 confirmed daily (Hanna), Immediately followed with 14 days in Hypo 1.009 confirmed daily w/ MKE meter and hand held to deal with prazi resistant flukes. Moved gem tang to New (fishless run in) DT along with another damsel that has been through same cycle- 1 day later Gem has a “twitch” only on top fin (not head twitch like flukes) and a white spot appeared on his right side fin. Incredible. Parameters all good on new tank. Stress spot? Damsel is fine right now.

What does the spot look like? Could it be lympho?(fingers crossed)

I would just keep a eye on the Gem. One spot or even a few doesn’t necessarily mean disease. If the fish has ich you will know it, same with flukes

Ya. That’s what I am doing. He is giving me the defensive twitch every time he sees me now. Guess he is Pretty tired of getting dips and baths. It’s cute to watch him trying to be a tough guy though then swim off into a cave and hide for a bit. But he knows when it is nori time!

How is the spot doing?

 

[ckalupa]

Small. Seems like it’s fading. Not getting bigger nor multiplying so that’s good! Possible Lympho just due to stress. Dunno. Assuming all is well till indications go otherwise.

Update on my Wrasses, they are on day 9 of copper now and all flashing has stopped. I did lose one and that’s what confirmed a velvet diagnosis. The crazy thing is they carried it for 3 weeks through a failed copper and fluke treatment before one succumbed to it. The remaining two will transfer to a sterile tank Sunday for observation.

@ckalupa Did the hypo cure your flukes?

 

[ckalupa]

@dwest yes. Everyone in the tank is doing well. The gem tang has moved into his new display tank and continues to do well. One white spot appeared shortly after moving him in but it went away within a couple of days appears more like lympho .
All the other inhabitants of the tank that were also in treatment are looking great and will be moving back into the day tank as a fallow period ends this week.

@Frtdrmrose7 - how did the 12 hour treatment go?. Did the single dip eradicate the flukes?. Any follow-up necessary?

Has anyone had experience using febendazole in qt tank like prazi instead of dip ?? Besides cloudy ? Biofilter. ?? Effectiveness ?

I have been using fenbendazole in this manner during my last 2 batches. Aside from the cloudy water I have seen no issues. Biofilter appears to remain viable and flukes appear to be eliminated.

What dose you using. ? Same as prazi dose??

 

[mfollen]

I had prazi resisting flukes in my display. After multiple prazi doses, 4-5 days apart the flukes remained.

what worked for me was 3 doses exactly three days apart. You can’t leave any window for hatchlings to make it through.

it’s worth trying. Worked for me.

What dose you using. ? Same as prazi dose??

I’ve also done this and noticed no Issues. I used 95 mg/gallon

Thats huge dose for non bath. !!

 

[GoldeneyeRet]

I've been using the same dosage as the bath, 95 mg/ gal. I am going to try 2.5mg/ gal next time I encounter flukes to see if its enough. Noga lists that for prolonged immersion.

[Hedgedrew]

Think its 2.5mg per liter.
