ya he does have quite a bit but just over night i notices the bumps on the skin arent popping out anymore his body is almost smooth again so will wait a week before i start to raise the copper. the lower i can keep the levels and have it work the better for the fish stresswise but is seems like the base recommended dosage is doing well after another day or two im gonna dip him in methylene blue since i didnt on arrival. he was stressed enough from being caught so just want him to settle down a bit but is eating swimming and breathing well all very good signs

no worries i got half a pack of nori and no more tangs lol besides i buy mysis by the 1lb flat because of the seahorses and i get a good deal.... its just nice to have a pb around they are my favorite but my setup isnt ideal for a big fish long term.

One big enough would not have fit between his coral jungle and the glass lol

UPDATE:2

Well i must say i am quite shocked i turn on the lights and rileys pb ran away and replaced himself with a almost perfect one lmao could only find 4 little things on him hopefully nothing returns after a week or so then i can remove the copper with carbon and do a couple water changes before bringing the guy back home.... looks like this mystery parasite has met his maker for the second time

He looks pretty good now minus the water marks on my glass lol

Awesome, hes looking great. Thanks for the update! Thanks for the help. Hopefully it doesnt return when hes put back in the DT.

he will be left in the medicated water for another two weeks if he stays clean ill swap the water and see how he holds up for a extra week then he should be fine

@reeferkeeper420

pbt has zero sign of anything as of last night will leave the copper water in for a bit before changing to plain salt that was the easiest fish ever to medicate lol cant believe how fast he recovered will post pics tomorrow when i clean the spray from all those dang bubbles
