Tang is not doing good

[SudzFD]

So I have got copper now. I still would like to know if my fish would be ok in my 13.5 gallon evo for 6-8 weeks while they go through qt procedures and then stay in there a little while longer. All my fish are still juvenile. Its 2 chalk bass, a royal gramma, and 2 occelaris clowns. 5 fish now unfortunately the tang passed.

Hard to say, it’s small for sure but they have a better chance there than where they are so go for it and monitor them. Throw some fake plants or something in there for them to hide out.

Yeah I have 2 jointed pvc pipes for some hiding spots

Here’s a picture of the qt tank setup.

Ammonia is going to be a real issue along with aggression with that many fish in a tank that size. Be sure to be very mindful of both. Best choice would be additional tanks.

Yeah that would definitely be the best choice but I don’t really have the funds to do so. I have a lot of biological media in there that’s already seeded. I also have prime on hand which I know you can use with copper power. I’ll update every so often. My fish aren’t really aggressive the most aggressive species I have is the clowns however they don’t really show much aggression whatsoever to any fish. The only thing my female shows aggression to is my hand when I go to clean the tank.

Should just use a sponge from the tank. Avoid things like rocks and bio balls as they can effect the meds making dosing difficult.

Is 1.021 salinity ok while using copper?

Yes. That's fine.

Add a few more pvc fittings

They aren’t even hiding in them

Also should I keep the tanks lights off throughout the qt process?

They will at night.

No need to if they are feeding and not stressed.

I hope so they weren’t last night
