powder blue mouth sores

[meiffert]

Good Morning, I'm looking for some advice I have a powder blue tang in quarantine since 4/2 copper is 2.01 ppm, on 4/12 i gave 1st dos of metroplex and on 4/14 I gave 1st dos of General cure. yesterday i noticed he was not as active as normal seemed to be just hanging in one of the pic elbows i had in the qt. This morning was the same so I took a closer look at him and the only thing i noticed it appears he has some kind of sores around his mouth. I have attached a short video, hopefully its clear enough. Thanks in advance. #reefsquad

Sorry your videos won't run.

After 14 days of therapeutic copper, you can move the tang to a clean, sterile QT. If it is a bacterial infection of the mouth area, good results can be attained by using both Sulfaplex + Neoplex for 10-14 days.

I'm not sure why my video won't play but i uploaded an image hopefully that will help.

Yes, that white-ness around the mouth is something we see sometimes when the fish's immune system is stressed. Probably the copper. And the General Cure sometimes reduces the fish's eating somewhat for a day or two until the prazi degrades a bit and the metro too.
