sorry to hear that, I went through a similar experience a while back, ich broke out and wiped out almost all my fish very quickly including a 10" beautiful Imperator, I'm running a large UV now fed at a slow flow rate to hopefully kill ich, no problems so far, crossing my fingers
I just installed a uv yesterday
The imperator/ emperor I bought today is about 8" the most beautiful i have seen.
I almost bought it a month ago to be a pair with my old emperor.I guess it's not meant to be!
this is the most beautiful tank i have ever seenn!!!
My emperor still not eating as well as I want.
I try clams, silver fish , live brine, fresh nori, nori sheets. It's been 8 days with me and it was on my lfs for almost a month . His stomach looks full, I guess from all the sponges from the live rock in the main tank. I have to separate him from the passer because I was told they don't do well with copper and although he and the passer don't fight they might have some stare down which may cause him not to eat.i will try fresh oyster later on today. I am really worried for this guy.:sad1::worried:
sometimes they take a while but usually eat like a pig, try Nori soaked in garlic
yeah, you may be right about the passer, maybe that's why the imperator is not eating, you said he was at the LFS for a month, what was he eating then? I'd go with that
Sorry to hear about the ick problems.
Hang in there!
Those are some great looking fish in the QT!
Very nice set up you have!
