This is the timeline.
1. finish first round of 30 days coppersafe.
2. after about 5 days copper removal. I notice the tang is swimming against the flow again.
Also notice that the fins are being eaten?(something like the 1st pic below)(he's the only one the qt tank). Oddly, after re-dosing the copper again. The fins kinda healed?
3. I did freshwater dip for 5minutes. Nothing showed. Ive also done prazipro rounds before.
4. I dosed coppersafe again. Its been 12 days now. And its still swimming against flow sometimes. (Another thing i notice that when its around 6PM onwards, ive never seen him swimming against the flow, its only before that i see him swimming against the flow)
No heavy breathing. Eating healthy. No scratching. nearby tanks are at least 20feet away. No signs of any bacterial infection that i could see. Also,tested copper everyday. This time positive no cross contamination. I havent done water changes since i dosed copper again. Im also aware theres abit of HLLE going on.
So, my real question is. Is this normal that its already been 12 days and its still swimming against powerhead? Or Am i just overthinking? Could this just be the tang's odd behavior of swimming against the flow? Could this be other type of parasite besides velvet?
