Clownfish Internal Parasite
Hello guys this is my first post on your site. I have a clownfish( Black Ice Semi Snowflake) I have had in QT tank for week 1. I have narrowed down the ailment to an internal parasite. All my fish are treated in QT with copper and other med's if they display any signs of other ailments. My immediate course of action was to add PraziPro to the QT for the duration of this week. This is the 3rd day of week 2 in the QT. He displays no signs of the parasite inside or out and is swimming healthy. His breathing has returned to what i would deem regular for copper treatment. Only problem is he refuses to eat. I think i might have to due with the tank size 10 gallon? All the parameters are zero water changes are preformed every 2 days same at 15 percent.
I have a 55 gallon I can set up as a bigger QT if you guys think this will help his situation and give him less stress and maybe he will start eating. Also I am sure hes not eating i have cameras monitoring my fish 24hours a day. |

Not quite sure: is there copper in the tank now? if so, at what level? If so, was he eating before copper? Not eating is a common sign of copper intolerance. If this is the only fish in the QT, stress won't be doing this.
