Bought a Copperband Butterfly 2.5 weeks ago on 3/7
Had the LFS feed him, and was eating Mysis shrimp - said they had him for a couple of weeks.
Since bringing him home and placing in QT, I have not been able to see him eat anything, trying the usual from reading (Mysis, brine, Masstick, clam on half shell) - have yet to see him eat anything
I am surprised he is still alive given the time-period and not seeing him eat.
In addition, I treated the QT with API General Cure due to what looked like some Fin rot.
The tail-fin looks better, but still has one rather large dot/fleshy spot on it (pic included)
Question on what would recommend to get him eating/healthy and into the DT:
Any advice recommended on additional QT treatment / Move to DT in hopes of eating.

Question on what would recommend to get him eating/healthy and into the DT:
- How long can these fish live without eating?
- Any additional feeding recs?
- Have not tried the live worm/food recs, have not found them locally
- Any additional feeding recs?
- Fish Treatment
- Would you dose QT with Copper or PraziPro?
- Could introducing Copper/Meds make it harder to get him eating?
- Would you move to DT in hopes that would get him eating?
