Tinker Butterfly with cloudy eyes

Hi, I have had a tinkers butterfly for the past couple of weeks. He has developed cloudy eye and the other one looks like its getting a little cloudy. I tried treating my tinkers with maracyn plus liquid and after three days the eyes are still cloudy. He is still eating like a pig. Its a possibility I might have flukes. I would like to double treat my tinkers with maracyn 2 (tabs) and prazi pro. Would these two medications mix okay? I used prazipro in the past and it has worked wonders. I also have a mitratus butterfly, 4 pairs of fairy wrasses, blue flasher, flame wrasse who seem uneffected in a 210 gallon system. I have no corals at all. Any advice would be appreciated.

Scott

If one has flukes then you need to treat all of them.

I've used Prazipro, Maracyn II and Cupramine at the same time with butterflies, angels, clowns and wrasses with no issues.

I treat EVERY single fish I get with Prazipro. Flukes is everywhere and not many treat for it.
