Mandarin (QT) ?

My brother had a battle with ick in his reef tank. He has had his tank fish less for 6 weeks. All has gone well, fish are doing good. He treated them with copper. He is wanting to QT everything before he introduces
them to the DT.

He wants to get a mandarin so how would you QT and still feed the mandarin copapods?

Will the mandarin be ok with traces of copper?

If he bought the copapods for the QT would they survive if there is still trace copper?

 

he should use some cuprisorb to get rid of the copper. after that he can try copapods but they are inverts and intolerant of copper. the fish might be ok but i dont konw too much about them and copper.

 

I thought they were very very disease resistant
the mandarin

 

like i said, i could be wrong.

 

I think gobbies don't do well with copper.

I don't know if the are more resistant to disease

 

the are! ive had mine for 3 years. they have a very thick slime coat. i had an outbreak of ich and he was the only fish out of 15 that didnt catch it!! he may eat frozen brine mine even eats pellet food!

 

So maybe he should not QT the mandarin and just add it to the DT

 

I wish i still had mine
looking to get another one

 

That whats I've been saying
