Freshwater dip

[Rickyb1982]

He's not looking good , been on his side since early this morning before I left

 

[Rickyb1982]

I made him get up and he went up by the heater so I will eek when I get off today if he made it or not but the odds are against him for sure

 

[Rickyb1982]

See that's a tuff one for I cause I want to say you can trust it but real talk I have one but yet I still test.

You will not get an accurate test if you are running copper in your qt

I don't run copper only when it's needed I'm a prazi user.

How's the tang doing

 

[Rickyb1982]

Gotcha

 

[Rickyb1982]

Hes,not doing good

 

[Rickyb1982]

Well.got home yesterday and my purple tang was not doing good just laying on his side so I did another freshwater dip for 8 minutes to try to relieve him and pulled some copper out incase he was having a reaction to the copper and made a acclimation box to keep him contained instead of floating around the tank . To my surprise he is doing better today and is swimming around

I put him the tank to see how he does for a little while !! He finally ate a few pieces of brine shrimp

 

[Greenstreet.1]

You have him in something within the tank ?

 

[Rickyb1982]

The first video was a water jug that I threw together last night and drilled some wholesalers in it so the power head wouldn't blow him all over and plus I put two air stones from the bottom of it so he had plenty of oxygen

 

[Rickyb1982]

Second video is when I took him out the jug and put him in the tank for a while to see how he does , I might put him back in the jug tonight and tomorrow until I'm sure he's strong enough to swim for a while by himself

Glad to hear he's doing better. Now hopefully he will keep eating after you bring the Cu level back up.

 

[Rickyb1982]

Yes hopefully he does , he's not swimming perfect, but he couldn't swim at all for two days so I say that's a complete turn around for lucky

 

[Rickyb1982]

I put him back in his acclimation box and got the copper up to therapeutic level so we shall see how it goes

 

[Rickyb1982]

He's swimming around fine this morning

 

[Humblefish]

He's swimming around fine this morning

Hopefully velvet is dropping off him now, but you need to ensure the Cu level is at therapeutic to protect him from reinfection. When do your other fish in QT go into the DT? I have a plan.

 

[Rickyb1982]

The 28th

 

[Rickyb1982]

Well the 28th they are done with copper and was planning on treating them with prazipro after , why what you thinking Mr Bobby?
