Foxface rabbitfish lying on side, looks dead.

[benr783]

I've had a new Foxface Rabbitfish in my 20g QT for 2 weeks. I treated him with prazi and maracyn for a week, did a water change yesterday, and did a half treatment of copper, as part of quarantine. When I got home today, I see him lying down on his side. He's camo, is breathing extremely rapidly, and is flapping his wings still a little.

He looks like he's dying. What do you think?

not good. Maybe too much too quick. They should only be camo when sleeping and when hiding. on side is bad. Check oxygen and ph.

I would remove the copper with either carbon or Cuprisorb and see if he improves. If so, consider using TTM instead of copper to prevent ich.

Did you happen to dose Prime with the Copper? If so, that's bad. I agree get the Copper out and see if there is any improvements. Also test for ammonia.
