Hi,
I have a blue reef chromis that I picked up on the 16th, moved it into copper and ramped the level to 2.0 over the course of 3 days. One white spot that looked like ich, and a small amount of damage to a tail fin, but no other issues visible. The fish was eating at well at first, then started spitting out food (API GC blended with Garlic Guard or entice). Non-medicated frozen brine worked okay (although not msyis), so I switched to that with the intent of going back to the API GC food after I hit the 2 week mark and moved the fish to a new QT. Over the last week, the fish has been eating less and less, and at this point is spitting out all food. I've tried soaking in GG and Entice, the fish samples every piece and spits it back out. BBS seems to work, but I can't raise enough fast enough to keep the fish alive.
Yesterday I took the fish out and moved him to a new tank, with the intent to use TTM to finish the ich QT process. At the same time I dosed Furan/Metroplex/Kanaplex into the tank. The fish is still not eating, although it's been less than 24 hours since the tank swap. Should I be patient and give things more time, or is there anything else I should consider doing in the meantime?
