I bought an Achilles off of liveaquaria.com. I have him in a QT right now. I also got a saddleback puffer. This is the second day he is breathing a little heavy. His swimming is getting a little wobbly. I have not dosed the tank with anything yet. I was waiting to make sure there wasn't going to be an ammonia spike. I have Prazi Pro and cupramine in the waiting. I was trying to figure out which to dose. He has no spots on him whatsoever. So I was worried about flukes. Should I start with the cupramine or the Prazipro? He Is about 3 inches long. I've got them in a 75 gallon tank. I have 100 gallon air pump in there. Hang on the back filters. Using a couple sponges that have been seeding in the main tank for many many months. Ammonia is zero. Nitrites are zero. PH is 8.3.
