I’ve had Boogie since December 2016 and he has had chronic bouts of skin deterioration and clamped gills. Symptoms come and go every 60 days or so but he always seems to recover strong. Over the past year, I’ve done 2-4 week cycles of Paraguard, API General Cure and PraziPro but no permanent solution! At the advice of PP, I scrapped the supplemental carbon filter and it seemed to help for a while but now my poor little guy is sick again
He's in my office and I hate to see his flashing and irritation spasms that accompany the symptoms.
The youtube link below combines 6 short clips to show how quickly and dramatically can go from sick to healthy in just a few days.

The clips are in the following sequence:
11/16/17 - Healthy
12/12/17 - Sick
8/27/17 - Healthy
8/31/17 - Sick
3/6/18 - Healthy
4/24/18 - Sick
Any advice?! Please help! Thank you!
