Got super lucky and was in the right place at the right time...
Scored a Male/Female pair of Japanese Masked Angels (Swallowtails).
Had read a lot about having to get them through prazi and then they would be "Bulletproof" .... But I wanted to get them eating, pellets especially, and then de-wormed.
But of course, after a dip, they revealed Lovely little Anchor worms/Flukes....

The male and female angel, plus their fellow Acclimation/Observation Tank residents all went into Quarantine, and because Im a nervous wreck and its been about time to treat the Entire system, I prazi treated 2000+ gallons. :sad2:

Ive been pulling my hair out... But it'll be worth the stress once its all done...
The male semifasciatus, needs to shed both eyes before he goes back into they system, but hes still able to feed well.
Heres the before video.... (Also a great Achilles that I had in that acclimation tank, and took out right as I acclimated the angel Pair, as the AT was harrassing the Male)..
And the AFTER video I will post in a bit. Hopefully I can get opinions on what to do next with the male.... :headwallblue: :headwallblue: :headwallblue:

The males eyes are so cloudy and inflamed, and I know that its driving him crazy. I upped the Prazi concentration a bit, as all of the fish are still eating. The female has colored up a bit, as has the male, but not as drastically as she.

Heres pics of the male, the best I could do as they both are "nervous swimmers", constantly doing laps...
