Need some input here guys, though it might be hard to do. Im going to post my timeline and observations of his behavior to see if we can narrow down the issue.
-Kole in QT from LFS 4/17. Temp acclimate, matched SG 1.020, released fish. Tachnypneic, positive signs of stress, color washed. Hiding in large 2"PVC pipe
-Started freely swimming, picking at PVC pipe, eating some NLS pellets. 4/18. Skittish, hiding, color still washed, normal breathing.
-Put some nori in, did not seem interested. continued to pick from 4/18-4/23, still eating nls pellets. Color improved in this time.
-4/24 started prazi-pro.
-4/26 fish twitching head, scratching mostly on the bottom between the mouth and pectorals. Sometimes gill scratching turning sideways. No visible signs of parasites, no white spots.
Im thinking its flukes and I need to just keep up with the prazi until they go away, but Im not sure. Any ideas?
