copper for boxfish?

pdxmonkeyboy · Oct 5, 2018

so I broke down and bought the wife a reefer 170. she wants a long horn cowfish... yes, I know the tank is too small but the LFS has a TINY one so we will keep him for a year or soo.

anyways... I checked the handy QT med chart and didn't see any recommendations for box fish and I like to treat all my fish before they go in the DT.

any help is appreciated!

they are not reef safe, from what I understand. #reefsquad

i have had one since it was the size of a nickle ( about a year) i have never seem him show any interest in corals. Sometimes he will pick at a snails if it gets flipped over. People says they can release poison if they get scared or die but, i haven't had an issue.
