Well....the thinking behind this instead of the Fresh Water Dip. Is I can still dip.
But after seeing my previous Anthias is DT not do well alone. Thinking "The more the Merrier"

What gave me the Idea is the other Two Healthy Anthias (in the Other Separate QT) were starting to act withdrawn.
They would come out to eat but then just hide again.
Now they are INSTANTLY (all) Happy Again. Swimming out and about, and don't even fear me walking by.
Now patiently waiting till next feeding, so see if the Single Anthias will join in on the Eating Frenzy.

Yes. Right now it just went from Night to Day.
I hope so. We'll see tomorrow. I fed the fish, but only two ate the normal way. Give it time.
That is my thinking and why I did the regroup. But it was sick for a while. So separating was also good (for treatment).
And I setup the camera to watch inside the SpongeBob House.
There is some Family Love.......But there is some really rough and tough pushing going on (briefly)...Small short nips here and there.
....Hoping this is some dominance order thing.

Very good! Have you done copper treatment yet, or just PaziPro?
PraziPro is almost necessary, but it really messes with fish' hunger. It is considered a safe treatment, but once in awhile it just doesn't work well with some fish. It's a shame.

I did PraziPro and ATI General Cure on the one that was sick.
Now that all back together, will be observing for a while before I consider Copper, FW Dip, or something else.
But today things look amazingly back to normal.
They were hanging out in the CAVE, and as soon as I feed........
THEY ALL came out to Eat!!! (hard to tell if the Sick one is eating, but it looks like it)

LOST MY PATIENCE ( On CYANO Clear UP ) SIPHON and BLOW this time
Thanks everyone. Yes I had Patience and it paid off on the Anthias. I will move them into DT shortly.
However, I kind of neglected the Tank for Maintenance (except Water Chemistry).
This was the Tank a couple of HOURS ago ( Slowly, slowly the Cyano came back) ,
Some cyano patches thickened, others were thinning. IT WAS becoming An EYE SORE.
Did a 10 Gal Water Changed, and Siphoned off Majority of Cyano, but to finish the job, I blew off the Rest with a PowerHead.
Also what I thought was Green Algae starting was Actually GREEN CYANO, since it blew off (CLUE was The Tang wouldn't eat it)
And now running a SOCK and Floss.
A Lot better to look at, when the Anthias go in.
I will still continue the Cyano Clean treatment.

ATHIAS UPDATE ( AGAIN !!! ) ODD Anthias has Retreated like last time.
So I am kind of back to SQUARE ONE with the ODD Anthias.
For a few days he was out an eating since he got into eating alone.
Slowly but surely he came out less and less out (Same foods, fine foods, and powdered foods).
Now he is in the Mountain CAVE doing the same thing, just sitting in there alone (not visibly out to eat), while the other two Anthias are eating Frozen Normally. They swim around, but also kind of go back in cave a lot.
I THINK THERE IS SOME BAD CHEMISTRY between the 2/1 Anthias. He isn't sick at all.
The ODD Anthias needs to be away from the Other two. No idea why. Bullying? Something else?
IT's a small RISK, but I think I need to put them in DT, where there is plenty of room, and the Loner can find comfort with the Other DT Fish since they Fish Relationship Dynamics will be very different.
The other TWO will have to deal with other Bigger Fish.
THERE IS NO RISK TO DT. THEY are not sick, but might get sick in QT since it's not prefect.

5 Week of ANTHIAS QT ( IS ENOUGH !! )
For 3 Fish that can't get Along nicely [ AT THE DINNER TABLE] ....
....In SPONGE BoB's Dream Castle Land
Time to Move ON to the NEXT CHAPTER in the SAGA ( in DT)
I tried my best, and let's see what happens next.
(They are in DT, and nowhere to be seen right now...in SOME CAVE doing the Spider Man thing)
This Rotating Food Buffet is going to much different for all of them.
MAYBE THE 3 AMIGOS will find comfort in each other.

This is why Anthias people typically want 5+. A trio isn't enough to keep them from singling one out.. in fact, a trio is the magic doom number. You will get one pair, and one outcast.
The best Anthias setup I've seen is a local guy who only keeps one of each species of Anthias. They all get along and shoal / school together because they know they're all Anthias -- But they aren't the same species, so they don't care enough to fight. It's like a tank hack.
