My Potter's Angel Is Sick. Anyone W/advice?

[kj23502]

I figured that she either has crypt and flukes or crypt that bothers her enough to make her shake all over repeatedly...as well as flash

I've created a medicated QT tank. Moved that awesome rock to the DT and left my whisper 30 hob filter on the QT as well as moved some smaller pieces of live rock to the QT. Left the wrasse in QT also.

With the way the angel wasn't moving around AT ALL in the DT when I got home, I felt it was either try to treat or loose her anyway. I added copper safe a little bit lower than the recommended dosage. I've read angels are sensitive to copper. Added over the course of a few minutes also. Calls for 1 tsp for 4 gallons. In the 10g I did 1 and a 1/2tsp. She looks ok and doesn't appear to be struggling. The wrasse looks just fine.

So I did I mess up or am I on an ok track?

Tremazol

is quite popular over here for traeting flukes.

the potters didnt look happy at all in the display tank they way it was swiming not very active is the angel still eating she looked awful stressed i would copper treat in half dosage so basicly add the half tea spoon in the morning and the other half tea spoon 40min-1hr and will be able to tolarate that

good luck


regards scott

do you have a uv on the big tank

She's gone already

I treated the tank w/a 3/4 dose since I know angels aren't fond of copper. It just happened so fast. I keep thinking what if I saw it sooner, what if we had the other meds locally....what if, what if, what if. God this really sucks

no UV
