emperror not eating and coppered treatment


Recommended Posts

Hi I bought an emperor angelfish and put inside the qt doing copper treatment.

2nd day he is eating like buffet but I limited the food jus enough for him... 3rd day it came out not eating not even a piece of pellet what going on here ?

everything seem normal just he doesn't eat anymore

is it because the copper treatment 0.10ppm is high ? I read some article said that best to raise to 0.35ppm as most of the fish can torelate to 0.50ppm.

some expert pls help me here.

try a 100% WC if the emperor is impt to you.

Too many people spend money they haven't earned to buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.

Bro. My current big naso tang took 3-4 weeks before he started eating. I tried lots of different foods and he wont even try. The only stuff he eats was microalgae from the lr.

He was always timid until recently when I added anthias he started eating and is not timid anymore. Dont know whether coincidence or not. But I have a feeling maybe because it might be similar to his home in the ocean.

Maybe do away with the copper and try get him into the dt soon? If your fish is from a stable source, u shouldnt need a qt.

Bro u may want to go slow on copper no lights and leave it alone in qt for a while. Don't throw food and scooping them out it stresses the fish. When it starts to wonder out of the corner it's a good sign. A gentle emperor is one of the most gorgeous fish in DT. Good luck.

1ml for every 10L. Off skimmers/ozone/uv and remove carbon. Repeat on day 3 if necessary for a total treatment time of 5 days.

Before prazi dose always good to give the fish a 2-3 minute freshwater dip.
