Sick pbt help needed

[prsnlty]

My 6" pbt has shredding tail fin. He gets sich easily from stress and does best with copper and qt normally. But this is a different sickness he's come up with from moving out to be put in the upgraded 180g dt. Should I treat him with copper or em ethromyacin? Which would be better for what he has? He eats but very little.

Do you have any pictures of him?

Is the damage to the tail fin and dorsal fin? And is that a white spot I the pectoral fin?

 

[prsnlty]

Yes but not the top yellow fin. Thats a star on the glass

What tank mates is he with besides the yellow tang? Are you sure the yellow tang or another fish isn't beating up on him?

No one is bothering him. He was super healthy then I put them all in a 5g bucket with tank water, heater and air stone while changibg over to the new rank. One yellow chromis died over night. The other fish are a pr of clowns, coral beauty and 6line. They all get along great.

Looks like his fin was/is melting away.

Alright, because I had a yellow tang really annoying my Achilles until Ich completely broke out and I decided to go fallow.

They are currently all in a 5 gallon bucket and getting moved? Or were they were just moved into the tank? I'm assuming none of the other fish are showing any signs of issues?

 

[prsnlty]

No other fish are sick. And they are in the new tank. With their good old water.

 

[prsnlty]

I just need to know what this is and which of the two I should use. The ethromyacin (antibiotics) or coppersafe?

 

[Kworker]

If his fin is just a little torn I would think it may have happened during the move, try antibiotics. I am not a fan of Cu.

Ok. Thanks
