Hippo Tang in QT

[Davar93]

Hey everyone! I got a hippo tang in qt in copper. Wondering anyone advise against that? I heard of some of these guys getting HLLE from it?
It’s eating well and lot of Nori, also swimming around too.
Also I plan to do freshwater and Methylene blue dips.

Chelated copper is fine (like copper power).

I’ve had no issue. Having way to much carbon in the system was my only issue for hlle. Now I make my own home made fish food also helps

What home made fish food? Yeah I read up on the carbon too. I am not using any in the QT atm just a hang on filter with a sponge that I clean out. I’m doing full water changes every few days.

So home made fish food. Right off selcons recipe including the selcon. Salmon scallops fresh shrimp and clams. I diced them all up than blended. Than soaked it all in selcon. Froze in a bag. My fish go insane for this and it didn’t cost much to make. I only give pellets and flakes now as a treat
