Hey guys I currently am qting some fish currently. I have an achilles, powder blue, yellow tang, flame angel, and a cleaner wrasse. (I know the risk of both the PBT and Achilles) what I am asking about is the pbt is currently not eating. I quickly went up to therapeutic coppersafe dose because he was showing signs of ich (scraping sides ect) no spots noted and other fish look good and eating fine. Should I stick up with the therapeutic level or should I drop back down and get him eating first? I'm adding garlic xtreme and feeding lrs and nori every other day.

Did you ever do a FW dip to see if flukes were the reason for flashing? I only ask since you say there aren’t any spots.
I would also recommend with these Tangs you offer Nori on a daily basis.

What level is your copper at? How are you testing levels? How fast did you ramp up? Was he eating prior to copper?
I think I would still FW dip the PBT to be sure (if he appears strong enough)There are Prazi resistant flukes making their way around.
Ok, that changes the game (pretty skinny part) I would start dosing General Cure to the water column to start treating for possible internal parasites. If he has them and ingests anough meds through the water to suppress them he might start eating again. Then you would need. To treat with med laced food for 14 days if he starts eating. If he appears strong I would also still do the dip.
