I skipped the acriflavin bath and went on and put them in the other tank dosed with copper and metro. Should I continue the kanaplex also?
Could using that with copper have killed the biofilter in the other tank?

Here is a question , tisguy came from a local hobbies. It’s still very shy so it’s very hard to get good pictures. Having never seen lateral line I wonder if this might be it.

The anthias are looking a bit better after transferring to new tank out of the ammonia. Some of them ate a tiny bit today but not all.
I am still unsure if I should allow them to go the full 14 days of copper (7 days left) or if I should transfer them again and start NFG to treat the infection asap (if it is infection, which at this point I don't know what else it could be)
