I am glad you saved the male. Any further conclusions about what
happened?

Definitely gill flukes. The next day he tried to eat and spat it out
shaking his head. I treated with Prazi and all better. I did a salt
calculator check using Roark's device to figure gallons first. About 1000
gallons with filters. He's eating and swimming with the others again, and
I'm sure the others are feeling better too. If they're that bad on one
they're probably on the others as well. I'm glad it was an easy fix. ~ jan
