Acclimating a bluestriped angelfish

[mrmole83]

I just bought an adult bluestriped angelfish and he is one shy of a fish. Its been 4 days and i have not seen him eat anything. He is now sitting in my quarantine tank and have some white spots on him. I started cupramine dosing, starting very slowly. I outmost first concern now is for him to eat. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Try live black worms to see if that sparks any interest in eating. I just went through my own challenges; lost a goldflake in qt, yet with some challenges got a flagfin into the dt. I would say the bluestripe is in the same category of challenging angels. The cupramine puts a wrinkle in it, because treating with prazi pro or metroplex is a priority; they seem to have parasite issues as well. Good luck and keep us posted.

Clams on the half shell and plenty of places for it to hide.
