Is it faded more due to stress from being in the cup for the photo? It looks really unhappy. Can you post a short video of it swimming in the tank?
I went to the LFS and they recommended seachem Focus and Metroplex in the food which I started treatment of that. I will get a video of him swimming. He may not be happy but he looks like that recently.Is it faded more due to stress from being in the cup for the photo? It looks really unhappy. Can you post a short video of it swimming in the tank?
If it has been in copper for 30 days, you should consider removing the copper and dosing with praziquantel, just to limit the chance of flukes.

Sigh, Focus + Metroplex is so often recommended, but the reality is, it can’t work! Metronidazole needs to be at 5000ppm in food to be effective, and it is so bitter at that dose, fish won’t eat it. If the fish eat it, the dose is too low.I went to the LFS and they recommended seachem Focus and Metroplex in the food which I started treatment of that. I will get a video of him swimming.

Even the Focus instructions don’t agree between the box and the tube. Take a look in the library section here for an article I wrote on medicated foods (sorry I can’t link you to it, I’m on my phone).
Try to get a video, that might provide more clues.

Yes, the video seems down sampled or something. Is that a big puffer in with the trigger? Any concerns about aggression?Jay sorry about the low quality video. You can see the fish swim. Sorry I don't have great light and I am taking water from the main tank so the water should be clear. Can you recommend a praziquantel? When I google that I am not sure what to get. Thanks again it seems to be eating and swimming fine
The same for their Metroplex by the way. On the tube it says say dose 1 measure per 10 gallon, on the box 1-2..
