New Mandarin Goby

[wheel6251]

Hi everyone, first post and we’re new to this so go easy on me. 90 gallon fish only. Couple of clown fish, angels, jawfish, and a naso tang. Just bought a beautiful goby and I want to help it survive. We do have minimal amount of copper in the tank (added 2 months ago) and I’m wondering about adding copapods (sp). Will they survive? Any downsides? We have a canister filter TIA

Without copepods a mandarin won't survive. What type of copper was used? Still detectable?

Mandarin have extremely quick digestive systems. They are non stop hunters when not sleeping. Usually a mature tank is good enough to supply them.

Is this your display tank with rock? You added copper to it 2 months ago?
