Things are slowing down at least, but still unsure what's going on or if we're on the other side of it yet or not. Female clown still has some white dots, but individually smaller and less dense. Almost just looks like texture between scales. Less head shaking and yawning from her and she's eating aggressively (still) but needs less time to realize food is in the water, seems like she's back to always hungry/begging for food.
Spotted dragonet is less mucous-y, but still has extra mucus production and is still scratching on the sand (~50h after 2nd prazipro dose). Spends more time during the day buried in the sand, but still actively feeding and begs for pellets from the pipette when offered. Respiration maybe slightly higher still but very hard to tell with him.
So no more losses which is good, but still there is no real clue as to anything specific that is going on so having a bit of a hard time knowing what to monitor /treat so just trying to monitor everything all the time. I really hope they pull through.

Mixed update. Bad news first, the last of the last batch of clown fry didn't make it over the weekend. Had plenty of rotifers (possibly too many) but still petered out. With the male gone, that's the last of that. Unfortunately 3 tries wasn't enough to get all the kinks worked out.
So.... anybody need some rotifers?
On a more positive note, the female clown is looking better, dots continuing to get smaller. The dragonet is still a little more mucus-y than normal but the major production has been down for a couple days, and so far this morning he's not been scratching so I hope that's a sign whatever irritant is fading. Still running a bubbler, will probably transition to it only being at night now, and will be doing the 3rd dose of prazi next week.
