Royal grammas often have gill flukes, but that shouldn’t keep it from eating. Some grammas are collected in Haiti and just don’t do well.I have a flame angel, royal gramma, and carpenters flasher wrasse in QT. The angel and wrasse are doing great, swim around together, eat, not shy after a couple days already, but the gramma...
The gramma disappeared after being in the tank for a couple minutes, and I didn't see it for 3 days. It constantly sleeps under cover of chaeto, sea lettuce or PVC, I have not seen it eat yet.
The couple times I have seen it awake briefly, it looks like it might have a couple white spots, and it yawned really big once.
When should I start copper? Usually I do the day after the fish are acting like they have adjusted, but I don't think the gramma is going to, and I think I need to get my medications going.
Any advice?
I would start the copper now, for the benefit of the other fish at least.
