Scribbled Angelfish and Prazipro

[Fowler freak]

I’ve had a show size male scribbled angel for over 4 weeks now and was doing AWESOME!
he went thru 2 weeks of copper power at 2.0 without any problems at all always gorging on seaweed extreme soaked with selcon/vitachem, “growth”probiotics, and Kent’s “Zoe”. Placed him in a sterile tank after the two weeks of copper power and waited a day before running Prazipro. Dosed a full strength dose into his 20 gallon and he was fine for 2 days. The 3rd day (morning) he was not eating at all and breathing heavy, was just off in general. I quickly did a 25 percent WC and put a polypad in the HO filter to get the prazi out. Later that evening I did a 3 gallon WC without disturbing much at all. Today (day 4) HotRocks advised me to add a powerhead pointed at the top to help aerate the water also added an air stone in addition to the air powered sponge filter that has always been in there. I’m at a loss and this is day 2 of him not eating and breathing heavy (140-130 breaths a min) while having a slight “cough” once every 10-15 breaths. The more I use Prazipro that’s supposed to be “easy” on fish the more I am reluctant to use it and switch to General cure. In the meantime I don’t know what to do other than a daily 25 percent WC and praying. Please any advice here I am all ears and would love people to chime in here. Thanks for reading and hope to hear something that will help me make sense of this.

Remove the prazi and he should return to normal if prazi was the issue. Double check ammonia and O2.

If it was a bacterial bloom from the prazipro,general cure would be better but if it was a reaction to the prazi itself then gc would cause the same issues.

I have switched to fenbendazole and ha e not had any issues so that is another option.

Thank you for replying I appreciate you taking the time. There was no bloom And my badge was bright yellow the entire QT.I’ve never seen a reaction like this one ever and of course it happens to the most expensive fish I’ve ever purchased. Thank you for that piece of advice for I would hate to put this fish, God willing he makes it, through a reaction like this with a different medication.
