So this is my SECOND attempt at Quarentining these guys...first 2 never made it.
I have attempted yet again (newly cycled quarentine) to quarentine 2 Banggais...and seem to be halving issues.
When I first got these 2 new ones I was told they were Captive-Bred. Brought them home, one of them (the smaller one) eating like a champ, and the other not as much. The other one died several days later. Had white stringy pooh so I assumed maybe parasites.
So, I started to dose cupramine. Everything was going good until lil one stopped eating. I know these guys are picky eaters but tried everything. Mixing brine with mysis, both on their own, but nope not interested. Decided to stop cupramine thinking it could have been that.
It has great energy. Always swimming in the front, but just WONT EAT. Tried not feeding for a day, but nope, swims up top to where I feed, takes one bite and then spits it out.
My partner thinks its lonely (lol) and wants me to put in the display tank. But I dunno about that one.
Otherwise, no breathing issues, very active and attentive to me when we enter room.
Parameters:
1.023
Ph. 8.2
Nitrate 10
Ammonia -- not detected using salifert.
Only meds in stock.
Prazipro
Metro
Cupramine.
Thanks for reading.
