As much as I love and use DD, they ship out sick fish like everyone else.

He is munching on nori and masstick mixed w/ LRS (Fertility, Reef, and Fish Frenzy), Nutramar Ova, Nori, Calan-eeze, and PE Mysis. Im hoping to move him into TTM tonight.

It seems that as soon as he started eating my copperband stopped. I moved him to the frag tank last night and cranked down the flow. Im going to continue to try to feed bloodworms and calan-eeze soaked in selcon.

Just checked on him and hes laying on his side. I don’t think hes gonna make it.

The CBB? I must have missed something. How long has he been in QT for?

I don’t see any velvet
I would like to get him eating before starting any meds but I don’t know if he will last that long.
Ive tried nori, lrs, and pe mysis so far.

I hope you know what you’re doing with copper. It’s easy to screw up, also get a ph monitor for QT...

Don’t rush into a panic over ich, it’s not a fast killer. If he dies quickly then he had something else. Do some research.

I have treated my fair share of fish.
Ive successfully treated with copper multiple times. I plan to do TTM on this guy.
Thanks.
