I recently had to QT my Kole Tang, Harelquin Tusk, and dwarf golden Moray eel. I've been treating the tank with 45mg/gal of CP. Everyone looks good. No more flashing and both fish are eating.
Now to the problem, my eel hasn't eaten (that I've seen) for 3 weeks. He ate a big chunk the day before the transfer. He is VERY active. He swims all around the tank at night. If I try to feed him, he sometimes takes a sniff and then seems like he's scared of it. I was wondering if it's the CP messing with his sense of smell because of the metal taste.
At what point do I worry? I was thinking about putting the carbon in the filter and starting water changes. Is 21 days enough to kill velvet (or ich, but I think it was velvet)?
I've tried fresh oysters, mussels, squid, clam, etc. He seemed most interested in a silverside before the tusk stole it. In the DT he ate every 3-4 days. When he was swimming around the other night I tried to feed him thinking he was hunting, but he just hid when I opened the lid.
