Tangs in copper won't eat

[Kzang]

All they do is hide. They were eating Julian springs sea veggies green version. I bought the purple version. I've tried frozen. The blue tang literally hides under the nori.

I've soaked with selcon. Nothing. This is day two

Why are the fish in copper? New, sick? how high is the copper? Did you slowly raise copper or just go full copper out the gate?

Blue tangs are terrible and will hide at the slightest thing.

Try adding a little garlic (made for fish) to the food. It tends to encourage them to eat.

What kind of copper. Ionic copper is a lot harsher on the fish than chelated and both supresses appetite. If they wont eat you may want to remove the copper, watch until they eat and try again in a week or so. Ive never had issues dropping sensitive fish straight into 1.0ppm of chelated copper for QT.

I got the tang to eat using Kent's Xtreme garlic soaked Mysis. He won't touch sea veggies even with garlic, but at least he eats everyday now and looks great. my PBT died, unfortunately due to the ich.
