I have an aiptasia eating filefish in copper (copper power) for 2 days now. Still haven't given the full dose, just ramping up while I wait for my Hannah tester tomorrow. He did not show signs of ich but his tankmate did (and died while in copper) so I was treating them both. So he's eating ok, but seems very stressed. He spends the entire day glass surfing and pacing. You can just tell he's not happy. My qt is a 10 gal, sponge filter and thermometer. I put in two tiny rocks from display tank (and will keep them in this only as a copper tank. Oh and some bio-rings. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0. Is this behaviour ok for the filefish? Is he showing signs of sensitivity to copper? Should I be doing anything else? I'm letting the DT go fallow for the next 90 days.
Thanks,
Cynthia
