Per my earlier post, I recently purchased a fish that ended up having skin flukes; slightly smaller than the size of a sesame seed and kind of glistened under the lights. When I first saw them, I wasn't sure what they were. I noticed the the fish would swim with a shutter, sputter and shake. I started looking for ich on her/him, which I found, but also saw the larger specks too. After reading that standard ich meds were not likely to impact the flukes, I started doing more research to find a cure, if there was one. That's all in my earlier posts.
The treatment has worked, and I have put in one last QuIck Cure dosage today for the ich. The flukes that were visible have dropped off and hopefully, any internal or gill flukes have also died with the two treatments I have given over the past week. The fish is definitely swimming better and s/he is no longer flashing on the in tank scratching posts. One more week of observation, and s/he should be good to join the others.
