My barbouri pair both developed weak snick. I 10 minute FW dipped both and could see evidence of white specs at the bottom of the container after the dip suggesting it was gill/throat protozoa. The FW dip had helped the female but the male has regressed back to now not even being able to ingest smaller brine shrimp. I FW dipped again yesterday and there were ALOT of white specs. Tried feeding again today and still not able to grab any size food. Even tried BBS and it still cant feed.

I'm setting up a hospital tank today and will broadcast medicate as well as inject and force feed food to it in the hopes I can save it. Which medication works best for protozoa? Anything else I should try?

I'm unable to assist as I don't have experience with weak snick, but I'll call in the #fishmedics for help.

If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

Sorry to hear. Instead of me trying to explain a treatment I will just link this. It may help you.
