Hey guys

When i started QTing this fish in Copper it got a Bacterial infection , had to remove it from copper after only 5days.
It had Fluke infestation as well.

-Moved it to a new QT and dosed neoplex+GC : it did eat for like ~2 days then started to eat the 3rd,4th and 5th day in the new QT with neoplex+GC.
-I did 100% WC on the 5th day and dosed Neoplex again, only neoplex.


Yesterday I saw night, the night of the 5th day, Is saw white dust/like powdered sugar on its body si I did FW dip and dosed half dose of copper power ~1PPM.
Kinda crushed my spirit since it was doing well for the past 3 days...

-This morning I did a 60 min rally Bath (don't have the date on the bottle)

Now the Fish looks as if it went trough a spider web, should I increase the copper to 1.75 - 2 .00 ?

these are the medication I currently have

-GC
-Metroplex
-Rally ( no date on Botlle)
-ICH-X (with malachite green reef)
-Neoplex
-Hydroplex

-Might be able to get Furan-2 ( that's a big maybe)


Thank you in advance.

you sure its not velvet? the symptoms you gave sounds a lot like velvet do you have a photo of the fish head on? or from the sides


Yeah it seems it was Velvet, fish didnt make unfortunately.

Next time when i qt achilles and pbt in copper, ill try to keep the fish in copper for 10days atleast regardless of flukes or bacterial infections...

I feel ya man. I bought a blue and powder blue tang. Lfs recommended to not treat with copper without signs. First sign was swimming around a powerhead. I got them in copper, and they still died so now if I get a tang they immediately go into copper
