Goby has swollen eyes and has pale splotches

The dip is short term so after it, get a qt with prazipro

 

[40g Nano]

You can put prazipro directly in the tank if you don’t have any worms- feather duster

would this work? This is the most available option that I can get in an hour. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/imagitarium-parasite-remedy

I’m not sure but I guess do the dip and put fish back into tank and order prazipro

The dip will offer temporary relief for the fish

Do you know if any stores like petco or petmsart or pet supplies plus have it? Like big stores? I'm looking everywhere for it so i can get it asap

 

[40g Nano]

A lfs probably does but a big box will have stuff like what you said

 

[Reefing_addiction]

Can you get pictures

Did you buy this goby at Petco? Do a google search for “saltwater or marine fish near me” and see where the closest SPECIALTY store is. I sometimes have to drive 50 miles to get what I need. Most specialty marine/reef fish stores have all the medications in stock and I would think they would not be closed today unless they are always closed on Monday. Eat of luck.

I just did the dip, i dont think he has flukes. Nothing came out the water was practically crystal clear. Now he is just laying sideways in the corner of the tank with cloudy enlarged eyes. Will he go back to his original cave? he kept running into rocks to try to hide. I want him to go back to his hole in front of the tank so I can keep a good eye on him.

Ok if that LFS is open today they should carry PraziPro. If they’re closed keep looking for one that is open. I’m no longer in Chicago but I’m from Chicago. I’m certain you can find a place that’s open and has it. Best of luck to you. I’ve had a sick mandarin for days, did a FW dip yesterday but it died overnight. My pincushion urchin is busy handling the remains.

Sounds kinda cruel but I really dont want to spend more money on this fish, I might as well get a refund and get another one rather than risk it passing anything onto the fish in my tank as I do not have a quarantine tank. Will the lfs help it or dispose of it? If they do help, I would much rather have them do it since they have more expertise and are much more capable. Then again, if lfs's usually do not care for the fish i would feel bad and keep it and try my best.

this cant be good... If not flukes, what is this?

 

[Tiki Reef Joshua]

Can we see a whole tank picture please?

 

[40g Nano]

U can use a bucket or tote as a qt

Well, its gonna be harder than ever to get him out now. It was already a hassle to get him out for the dip. Hes in a corner full rock rubble and I dont want him to be crushed if I remove the loose rocks. Can this just be popeye? I dont think it is flukes because nothing came out on the dip
