I’ve had my two clowns in QT since Monday with copper meds for ick/velvet. Most visual symptoms are gone except my bigger one still won’t eat on it’s own. It was going on a week tomorrow since it’s last ate. I’ve tried a brine mix, pellets, and mysis shrimp. Any suggestions?

p.s, tank is dosed with copper, and the little is doing great.

UPDATE! Unfortunately the one wound up passing away just now, It was way sicker than the little and just never fully recovered I guess. The little will remain in QT for the time being.

My clowns go crazy over salmon but I've always heard garlic tends to help...
