Hey so I have a magnificent Foxface in my QT with a mimic tang and two Royal grammas. It’s currently day 28 of 30 days of copper power at 2.0. I’ve had zero issues with any fish up until last night. I noticed the Foxface wasn’t out at dinner time and was hiding behind the filter. I didn’t think anything of it just thought maybe it went to sleep a little early. So now today around 3 pm I go to feed the QT and he’s still in hiding. I bumped him out of his hiding spot and noticed rapid breathing and his clear dark camouflaged look. Maybe this was from me bumping him out of his spot or maybe it’s something else.
The only I’ve done over the passed few days was a water change and I made sure copper and salinity were matched. Maybe the water change it self spooked him. I dunno. I just checked ammonia which read 0 and nitrates which in My QT always run at 20-40. Any ideas on if I should be concerned. It seems the rapid breathing comes and goes, again maybe from me spooking him but he didn’t eat last night or this afternoon. Any ideas or suggestion would be great. I’ve added a picture and will upload a video shortly.
