From what I know hypo does not stress the fish if anything it's easier on thier systems, I would start the hypo and I will find out about the prazipro and let you know...

Yeah I know hypo is pretty easy on fish but I have had fish loose their appetite during it.

More than probably the fish was getting too sick by the time you started the hypo...

I might be in the same predicament as you GSP. I've seen my burrfish poo once and it was quite stringy and white. I am hoping it is just due to the fact that she came in pretty skinnny. I've already been able to fatten her up and she has a nice belly now. But mine may have ich as well, even thought though the person I got her from kept her in hypo for 2 months. I suspect that the ich was already in the tank and she is just more susceptable.

Yeah since she was shipped, she probably was stressed and the ich had an easy time infecting her. Do you have pics of yours??? I really love these little (soon to be huge) fish!

well you almost don't have a choice since these fish aren't too crazy about copper! Give her a try and you'll see if she's affected the same way.

Oh I am certainly going to treat her with hypo and something for the IP. Im just trying to figure out if I should do both at once or one at a time. I agree that hypo is generally easy on fish and it shouldn't be a big deal to treat both at once but I just want to make sure.
