My butterfly fish almost died due to velvet . I treated him with copper and he is recovering pretty good but last 5 days he has not taken any food he is cleared of all spots and is swimming pretty good. How to maKe him eat during treatment . I am afraid if he doesn't eat during treatment he might die.

What copper product are you using, what is the dose, and how are you measuring it? What is the ammonia level of the tank?
