I believe he's talking about the updated photos in this thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/question-about-general-cure-treatment.511630/#post-5447243

The angels have - for lack of a better term - some "schmutzy-looking" stuff on their skin and fins.

Silly question - have they been treated for Brooklynella? Metronidazole? Ten days or so, straight daily doses?

thank you for attaching my old post!!! they just finished 2 doses of General cure

 

[Maritimer]

Two doses, separated by 5-7 days, would be effective against flukes. I'm thinking more like every other day for a week and a half, for Brook - and I'd look into using Metroplex, rather than GC, as you wouldn't really need the Praziquantel.

This looks like a skin reaction to me. If you want to add antibiotics you can. I would observe at this point. Sometimes fish just need some time to recoup and rebuild immune system by way of vitamin supplements in food, a quality healthy diet, and pristine water conditions.

ok thank you

Just a shot in the dark but my nitrates shot up to about 80ppm in QT could that cause this? Thanks
