I recently got 4 3.5-4 inch festa. ive had them now for about a week. 2 of them have frayed fins which are getting alot better with the melafix and they all are eating good but all are breathing heavy and itch there bodies against rocks. no ick is present so im guessing this is due to gill flukes and skin flukes. i just treated them with jungle parisite away. do you know if that will kill the flukes? if not i have clout but clout doesnt work for internal parisites so thats why i went with jungle. its suppose to work in 24 hrs. if i notice the same thing after this time frame do you think i should do a 25 percent water change and then treat with clout? what do ya think? thx in advance
 
Sorry to hear about your Festae's ills. Try posting this in the 'Fish disease and health' section where some of the experts frequent. You'll probably get more help. I hope they turn out ok.
