Copperband problems

[Lizfrank1234]

Hello,i have had a Copperband Butterfly fish and a Suntail Goby in Qt. Both were eating really well straightaway. I gave it about a week and then slowly ramped up Copper Power to 2.0 over the space of 9-10 days. Two days ago,the Copperband stopped eating. It was 16 days at therapeutic level today and i have transferred both fish to a fresh Qt tank with the temp and salinity matched. The Goby looks ok but the Copperband looks like hes strugging to keep himself upright and hold himself properly in the current. Any ideas anyone,he was eating really well until 2 days ago and has not had any other medication apart from the Copper,thanks for any advice

I’m sorry for your troubles.
Is the Copperband out of copper now?
You may consider adding live rock to the qt and offer a small live clam in the shell (use scissors and cut thin strips to attached flesh so CB can pull off easily). Remove clam after an hour. Have extra water for frequent water changes when feeding heavy.
