Well honestly do you think they will ever see again being 2 weeks no sight? Am I prolonging there death?

I would do the FW dip and see what happens. What do you have to lose?

Did you ever do the FW dip to check for flukes? Or treat with Prazipro?

When treating with Prazipro you must administer a second dose 5-7 days days after the first. The reason for the second dose is to eradicate the “next generation” of worms before they can lay eggs of their own. Because while Prazi does kill worms, it doesn’t eliminate any eggs they might leave behind.

The white bugs crawling on the glass are probably just pods. Prazipro should kill them if they are some type of worm.

Well Im going to start a new treatment of Prizipro tomorrow,but 1st i need to do a freshwater dip to see if they have flukes Correct?

It would be best. If a fish has a heavy infestation of flukes, performing a FW dip will force some to drop off. Prazpro will take care of the rest by causing the flukes to spasm and dislodge from the fish. However, too many flukes "spasming" on a fish simultaneously can actually kill the fish.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
