Please see video. Recently acquired a mimic tang. Had it in QT initially but it seemed really stressed (20 gallon long). Was told by seller it had been in Copper x1 week and had been eating medicated food also for one week. I picked the best looking one weight wise but still thin to me. I treated the DT with PraziPro for 3 days but corals were looking terrible so did a water change, carbon and UV. Eats very well. I feed high quality frozen food (we make it ourself with fresh seafood, pelleted food, flake food and seaweed so there’s something for everyone), I also feed pellets, flakes and Nori (I’m going to start growing macro in a separate tank so they have something more natural than dried Nori). I’m feeding several times a day. My naso is a bit heavier but could also use some weight.
My question is what else can I do to help with the weight gain? I can soak the food with metro and focus, I also have other medications if there’s something better. I’m afraid catching or chasing then back to QT will be too stressful. I have a 40B ready to set up but I don’t want copper in there. It’s going to be a FOWLR but want to propagate macro (acid rain and dragons breath) and pods in it first.
I’ve only had the yellow mimic for about 10 days
Note: turn down your volume if you don’t want to hear the TV in the background! My husband was watching it.
