Lyretail Anthias

[Gary LeCompte]

I just got two Lyretail Anthias. I have them in quarantine, just watching them. What sort of disease should I be on the lookout for for these two? They look good. They are eating and doing well, but I started with four. Two died the next day I received them. I don't know why they looked good and all of a sudden a while later two dead. The two I have left seem good. What should I look for and how should I treat?

They are very prone to uronema. Any discolored skin or redness is what you want to look for.

Add Metroplex + focus to food the treat internally.

I would start them off with copper. And Medicated food for 14 days, If you have a second QT to transfer to after 14 days of therapeutic copper. Otherwise it takes 30 days using the same tank.

Then I would give them 2 rounds of GC post copper 5-7 days apart.

Is Cuprion the right copper for treatment?

I would use copper power. I prefer chelated copper opposed to ionic.

Here is my full rundown:
