yes i know another anthias not eating thread lol i have 2x carberryi anthias they have been in QT since tuesday along with 2x tomato clownfish 1 coral beauty and 1 foxface whenever i come into the garage to check the tank they are hiding under the sponge filter all the other fish are eating really well but ive yet to see them eat they could be eating when i leave the garage do they look healthy to you guys? sorry these are the best shots i could get. ive seen them swimming the tank when i come outside but as soon as they see me they go back under there

im currently dosing metroplex every 48 hours for 10 days thats it no copper or anything else only dosing metroplex because ive read anthias and clowns are susceptible to brook and uronema then i will dose prazi after metro treatment

Hiding is normal for Anthias. My lyretail sometimes wedges himself under rocks or into caves. What are you feeding? They most likely won't eat pellets yet, so I would stick to frozen or even try some live food. In the future, I would use Prazi before other meds just because it is a great preliminary way to eliminate a lot of parasites.

ive been feeding frozen mysis shrimp and ive been following a guide i read on this forum for treatment of fish in QT minus the copper guide said to use copper + metro for x amount of days then prazi but thanks for the advice
