What copper level are you treating at and how are you testing the copper level?I currently have all of my fish in quarantine treating them with copper from and ich outbreak caused by stress from moving tanks I believe. They are on day 23 of 30. Today I went out and noticed that my yellow tang seems to have scales peeing the most noticeable is around its face but they are everywhere. I will post pictures and a video. I need help diagnosing and a coarse of action for treatment. Thanks in advance.
Using copper power at the recommended dose of 2.5 ppm. I use a Hanna copper tester. I have a seachem ammonia monitor reading 0. I change water every 3 days. It is eating mysis/brine mixed nightly and daily gets nori sheets. Breathing seems to be ok. Not sure why the video isn’t working. I noticed it tonight while feeding and mixing water to do a water change tomorrow.
Please have the water tested with a NON-Api test kit and see what ammonia reading you/they get.
I have a salifert tester. I can do that. That being said this is the only fish showing these issues. Would that be normal for ammonia burns?
Not ammonia as it would also affect eyes (cloudy/hazy) and breathing
It’s a biota tang I’ve had for 9 months. No issues until the ich outbreak recently. I actually woke up this morning and tested ammonia with a sailfert tester and it was at 4ppm when my badge showed 0. I changed roughly 95% water. Done to an inch or so of water in the tank. Put 5 gallons back in and took it back out and filled back up. Im now showing 0 ammonia. I hope that was the issue. They have a week ti get to 30 days in copper. When I put them in “observation” I’ll treat with prazi to be safe although I really don’t think they have flukes going on. But I can also pull it and freshwater dip to find out.
I will be soon. It won’t do much changing water every 3 days though. They all come out of copper next week so I’ll start the turbo start in observation
