I have a powder blue tang in a 18 gallon QT tank along with 4 Anthias. Anthias started eating on day 1. Powder blue tang hasn't shown any interest in eating. Tried flakes, mysis, and nori (don't have access to live mysis here in South Korea). Tomorrow will be the 14th day. He spends the day chasing his reflection. I tried to minimize this by placing plastic sheeting to cover the bare bottom of the tank and the sides. Figured it might be too stressed to eat. Still not eating though. Copper was at .5 for the first 10 days. Since then...I've done a bunch of big water changes and to get the copper concentration down in case that was the issue. The tank chemistry is all within normal limits. No signs of ich or other disease. Color looks good. Swimming strongly. No aggression with the Anthias. Considering moving him to the DT...but Id hate to risk the DT. I've struggled through ich outbreaks before and I'm paranoid now. Strict 30 day qt was the plan. Any advice?
I've heard of fish going 2weeks...but now I'm worried. Could have an ex-fish on my hands here real soon. Looking for a fishy miracle.
