I'm trying to do a freshwater dip for my new fish that I think has flukes. Was wondering if you can see the flukes coming off the fish or if it's transparent?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!
Only one group of flukes, Neobenedenia can be seen in dips without a microscope. In others, you can infer flukes if the fish get better after a few days. Remember that dips won’t permenantly cure flukes though. Do you need info about how to do a dip safely?
