Yellow Coris Wrasse x Flukes

[Brooks Allman]

So I finally caught all my fish and placed them in QT. The wrasse brought in flukes so I dosed slightly under the recommended dose of Prazipro. That was Tuesday afternoon. Here we are 48 hours later and the wrasse is still flashing on the bottom of the tank and yawning. The other fish look 100% improved from any fluke damage.

So is it normal to have a fish flashing and yawning still this long after the dose?
Thanks!

For flukes, I'd do a freshwater dip to help give the fish some immediate relief:

I agree^ freshwater dip is helpful. You might also consider general cure vs. prazipro for the follow-up dose in 5-7 days, as it has a broader spectrum of coverage.

Also, sometime fish do scratch for some time after parasites are removed. Especially if they were heavily infested. Think about it, tons of little bite marks exposed/healing all at the same time.
