Last day of copper for my fish is today. They all did well until a few days ago I lost my melenarus. It seemed to come out of the blue. I've been checking my copper level (copper power at 2.5 per instructions) with my hanna kit and its been a steady reading. My ammonia alert badge has stayed safe for the duration of QT.
Yesterday my fathead anthias eye was swollen. One eye I assumed injury from darting since its kind of shy. I started feeding with metroplex/kanaplex/focus yesterday. 1 scoop of each in the food and then the remainder of scoops per instructions in the sump. Today I come out and both eyes are huge on the fish. Everyone is eating and acting normal.
I have yet to treat for flukes. I thought my tank contracted velvet so I went straight to copper with these guys.
I plan to do a massive water change today and add some carbon. Tomorrow I'll check my copper level and if 0 I'll start my prazipro treatment for flukes and from there continue with kanaplex + metroplex every two days.
Does this sound about right or is there another step I should be taking specifically for the anthias that has dual pop eyes going on.
Thanks for any help!
