Well transferring all my fish over to my new tank. Just finished copper treatment for ich and my first fish I ever got is now on his side probably gonna die. It's a yellow tang and I don't know how this happened. I copper treated them all for three weeks and dripped acclimated them all for 1 1/2 hours and he went in the new tank along with a couple other fish and I went to check out how they were doin and he's laying down and pretty pale. Not sure I can do anything to keep him alive.

Went to check on him and my lobster was about to start picking on him so I took him out and put him out of his misery. Sucks to lose a fish especially one you have had since the beginning. I'll bury him in the morning.

It's part of the hobby and sometimes unavoidable. Good to see someone new qting from the beginning. Might look to another method for qt is rather tough on a fish. You're poisoning it enough to kill off parasites and the such but a fine line of treating and killing.

I found Cupramine seems to be the least invasive copper treatment for qt. All my fish go through it before going in dt.

This was the first time I was using cupramine. I only hypo my fish before this.

I run mine at 0.5. Only accurate test is Seachems copper test. Fish in for 2 weeks, then off in to the display tank. No water change for qt in that 2 week period.

I woke up one day and my purple tang was in qt and the tank was @95 degrees he was gasping for air my first reaction was to grab him and throw him I'm dt and he went straight down to the side by 4pm he was swimming like a champ.

Sorry to hear about your tang but you never know with fish.
