Quarantine question

seaplane · Nov 14, 2016

One of my 3 fish, a Royal Gramma, must have gotten bitten by another fish a couple of days ago. There is a small chunk of flesh and the Dorsal fin missing. He has been doing fine and starting to heal, then yesterday I noticed him rubbing against the rocks and sand. On closer inspection I spotted a few white specks on his body and tail. Frustrating because these fish went through 5 weeks quarantine with 2 doses Prazipro and no copper because they never showed any S/S of anything. They've been in my DT about 3 weeks.
Yesterday, I started TTM and today I don't see any spots or rubbing behavior on the Gramma, and his wound looks better. All are eating well.
My question is., should I now treat with Prazipro during TTM or wait until they are back in the QT and do it and Copper while we wait out the fallow period? Thanks.

Let's see if we can get you some assistance. @Humblefish @melypr1985

I would dose Prazipro during TTM. Do it at the tail end of transfers 2 & 4 (or 1 & 3). The fish only needs 24 hours of exposure time to Prazipro, so dose 24 hours before you are set to make the next transfer.

If all your fish have already been treated with prazipro, then why do it again? Do you suspect they have flukes as well as ick? I'm just wondering...

I'm not sure either way. Just want to cover it in case it is flukes too. Would it be ok to skip copper , as I am doing TTM.
