A couple of questions!

[F.H]

Thanks, George.

Likely, the more that I thought about it, the more I'm leaning towards the fact that the single dot probably isn't ich. It's been there for 4 days now, and I can see the dot from BOTH sides of the fin, which is odd? I'm leaning towards the fact that it might just be a hole or a tear on the fin.

I have heard about the waiting for eggs to hatch, and I suppose that's where my fault lies. I have also heard the same, that prazi is only good for the external flukes/parasites and for internal it's better to dose food with prazi (which can be very tricky) or dosing food with Metro?

or should I treat prazi in the water, and dose food with metro as well for another week?

My only issue is that he hasn't shown any signs of stringy poop for the past ~2.5-3 days so it is normal for a fish with internal parasites to "fight" them and show normal poop? I was just under the impression that the fish will continue to show stringy poop until he has been rid of the parasite. This is the only thing that's holding me back from administering prazipro right away.

Thanks for all the inputs so far, much appreciated.
