Regal angel and copper

[Breakthecycle2]

Sorry for all the qt questions guys, I'm still learning here. So I made an impulse buy, sort of today. I've been looking for a small, healthy regal angel so seemed to have found one. I paid only $40 and he's about the size of a half dollar. I have him in qt currently. Are these guys ok with copper once they have a healthy appetite?

I believe it will be fine if you go slowly. Of course, you know the guy to talk to about getting angels through copper is @3FordFamily

Yup I've gotten a total of three through cupramine levels 2-3x recommended dose without any issues at all. I haven't tried copper power or coppersafe but I imagine they're fine as well. Make sure it eats first then increase the levels of copper slowly over the course of 5-7 days.

Didn't copper him yet. Trying to get him to eat first. He took some Nori today, so that's a good start.

yes, eating prior to treatment is crucial, especially at such a small size when he does not have the fat reserves/stores to carry him through perhaps any suppression of appetite or hiccups. any photos you can share? what foods are you trying?

I can pics when I get home. I've tried live black worms, nori, mysis and raw fish eggs.
