Mouth infection in new Blonde Naso?!

[Bryan Dever]

picked up this male blonde naso at the lfs where he had been for a month, was eating great at the lfs, brought him home and put him i a 75g quarantine tank with cupramine increased over a few days..

my wife noticed his “teeth”

it looks like an infection... any ideas?

api sulfa or go with seachem solutions?

he is eating algae filled brine just fine at the moment, and still eating nori..

i can setup a new hospital tank for him today with a 36 gallon bowfront if i need to

Use Furan-2 + Seachem Sulfaplex (or API Triple Sulfa) to treat a mouth infection.

Also, start soaking his food with vitamins to boost the immune system: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/vitamins-herbal-remedies.304287/

should i move him to his own tank without cupramine ? or leave him in the 75??

Unless you suspect he has velvet, I would move him to a different QT (or lower copper in the 75) and treat with ABX first. You technically can mix ABX with copper, but being the latter is an immunosuppressant you might not see much improvement while he's still in copper.

wait, what is abx?

i was gonna start a new qt, do furan-2 and and triple sulfa and see how it goes

looks like my atlantic blue aslo in qt is also showing signs of thr same thing

ABX = antibiotics
