I've done TTM on over 20 fish and never had any failures. My new moorish idol made it through TTM like a champ, but now on the 6th day in my cycled QT, he is showing signs of ich. It is possible there was user error, but like I said, I've done it with over 20 fish with no issues. It is possible that my cycled QT may have been infected, but I have had other fish (that were TTM'd) go into the cycled QT (and subsequently into the DT) with no issues.
I'm contemplating using copper, but having never used copper before, I'm a little hesistant. I have cupramine and coppersafe. Which would be better for a moorish idol? How difficult is it to maintain therapeutic levels? I have a sponge filter in the QT for biological filtration. Is that ok or will that absorb some of the copper? What causes the levels of copper to change? I'm concerned about maintaining the therapeutic levels because I will be out of town for portions of the treatment.
Here are photos of the MI. He was eating pellets, mysis, LRS, nori from day 1. Still eating like a pig.
