HI All,

I've got an Orange Shoulder Tang that is looking less than good. He's looked like this for about a week. No one in the tank is picking on him. He eats normal and aggressive, swims around the tank but seems to go from one specific spot to another. We did have a bout with flukes and treated the tank with Prazi.

Here are some recent pictures"

Again he is eating fine but he also looks a little skinny. His eyes are a little cloudy and his facial area is sunk in some.

Thanks,
 
I would take him out and qt him maybe start a copper treatment

Well he has ich. That is what you see on him. After running Prazi Pro, my fish always get ich after that. Not sure why but it happens. If he is eating, I wouldn't worry about it. Be sure to give him garlic soaked food, and it will go away. That being said. I would also like to know how long you ran the prazi pro? If you didn't run it for at least 14 days, then you probably didn't run it long enough to kill the eggs, which run about a 7-14 day day cycle to maturity. Most people don't run the Prazi long enough.
