bboileau92 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hi all, I have a purple tang 30 days into qt using the humblefish copper, prazi, and metroplex method. It seemed healthy and was eating yesterday and today it's just laying on the bottom of the tank not swimming well. It's there anything I can do to help this fish? Parameters: Salinity 1.0265 (usually 1.026, but I must have put too much saltwater in after the water change on Sunday) Temp 79 Ammonia undetectable Nitrate 20ppm pH 7.85-8 depending on time of day Copper 2.05ppm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MReef20 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Breathing rapidly or normal? What are you using for Ammonia test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboileau92 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Api liquid test kit for ammonia. It didn't seem too rapid, but it was strained. 8 hours ago, MReef20 said: Breathing rapidly or normal? What are you using for Ammonia test?

bboileau92 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Well, after the light came on this morning it decided it was fine. It's back to harassing the solar fairy wrasse. I'll be keeping an extra close eye on him to be sure he's doing well before he goes in the display. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttleFishandCoral Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I would recommend getting a different ammonia test kit. We use saliferts and it's so much more accurate then api. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, not the harassing the wrasse part, but the back to normal part Edited January 21, 2021 by MReef20 Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
