This copperband is in a reef tank at the local school I help, linked below in my signature, and i was contacted by the principle today with some concerns on their new addition.
This is what i know so far, i have not been to the school yet.
-The copperband was QT for 4 weeks
-Added to DT on Dec 27th
-Had been eating just fine up until today
-Had not been bullied by any other tankmates
-Do not know what the current parameters are.
The concerns are today it stopped eating, its swimming pattern is irregular, it likes to hang out by the powerhead, and if you look at the picture it has some odd coloration, looks as if blood is seeping out around its scales. Best way to describe it for me.
Any help would be appreciated to determine what is going on. Should I QT again?
