Hi folks, have a bolivian ram with what I believe is skin flukes? Just want to confirm... there were a lot more of them on him/her this morning, but I couldn't get a picture to show at the fish store. Started treatment with prazipro this morning. A lot of them are gone but there are still quite a few and I was able to get some pictures with a lot of magnification. Although it looks huge in the pic, I can't see it on the fish without a magnifying glass. There are a few more on the dorsal, and I can't see how many on the other side. I just want to make sure I'm treating for the right thing.
Tank is 125 gallon. Have had the fish about a month, did quarantine for 2 weeks but this popped up after....Probly missing something you need to know, posting on my phone is hard! Temp is 76. Thanks for any help/suggestions!
