Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on a copperband I currently have in QT.
I bought it on the 11th of September and 18 days into its QT I noticed a few white spots on its tail. I started copper treatment on the 27th of September. I used cupramine and followed the instructions so the therapeutic level was not reached until the the 29th of September.
It has been at 0.5 mg/l for 11 days now and i test daily with a salifert copper test kit but the spots on its tail look exactly the same, the pic below shows them quite well.
The fish looks really healthy and is eating Mysis RS Liquid Feed, Frozen Brine Shrimp with Garlic and frozen Copepods. It will eat as much as I give it and I'm feeding 3 times a day.
Just worried that I'm coming to the end of the two weeks of cupramine but don't seem to see any sign of the spots on its tail disappearing?
This is the first time I've QT'd a fish after learning the hard way!
