Fish dying in quarantine

[Salomlar]

Pygmy wrasse just died in the QT.

Treating the QT with coppersafe, prazipro, and metronidazole.

he’s got some tail rot.

I’ve had the fish less than a week. They all looked good when I received them.

other fish seem fine. But one fish disappeared completely.

fish don’t seem to be eating.

any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

thank you!

Any ammonia issue? Are you treating with all three medicines at once? Are there plenty of hiding places? Plenty of oxygen?

I wonder if it would be best to have a separate tank to treat tail rot since I believe Jay once mentioned copper can make bacterial infections (or more difficult for the fish to deal with) worse but hopefully he'll chime in to clarify

The angel seems to have a bite out of its tail - what other fish is it in with?
What fish went missing? Why couldn’t you recover the body?
I’m concerned that you’re treating three drugs, all in the first week. I always try really hard to dose one medication at a time.
