Any improvement with his breathing today? Following the FW dip? If he has brook or some other parasite, the FW dip should at the very least provide temporary relief.

I agree. this looks pretty darn normal. Frozen foods like Mysis are always a favorite with my fish...adding a bit of garlic would probably help as well, as Humble said.
Still not eating. Really weak. He puts his head either upwards or downwards and just lets the current take him. Can I dose prazi and copper at the same time? How can I get him to start eating please help. #reefsquad
yikes. so sorry. I don't know the med question. do you have flake food.(floats on surface) and do you have a LOT of air in the tank?
I just chimed in, do you have Prime or bacteria for the tank, are you checking ammoina?
What do you mean prime or bacteria. Im heading to walmart to buy a air pump right now. I soaked the flake food in garlic and it floated right past her. Just a minute ago she laid on the ground for a good 20 seconds
yes bacteria. in case of high ammoina. have you tested for it recently?

OK do a water change. You'll need to dose the copper in the new water before putting it back in the tank. He probably wont get his appetite back until he starts feeling better. Most fish can go a week or two without food before getting in real trouble. You can combine Prazi and copper, but I advise against it unless it's absolutely necessary. You may want to wait until the copper treatment is complete before dosing prazi.... this is mainly do to the bacterial bloom that can happen sometimes when doing them together. The bloom will suck the oxygen out of the water, so it's a risk, but not one that can't be dealt with.
