    Well this thing is a pig and he seems to be doing fine with haveing just been droped in. I think my water is away cleaner as it is brand new fres made water, nothing had a chance to dirty it up yet. Over the next few days I will be reduseing the SG as of right now it is at 1.022 I think I will drop it down to 1.016 and see if that helps. I will also be replenishing the dreaded copper as I change and add water so that he will get a constant dose.

    Thank you all for your careing I will try to get pics up soon.

    he probably has not been fed since being at the LFS. he is probably filling up, not knowing his next meal will be tomarrow and not next month.

    that's GREAT that the fish is eating the mysis! multiple feedings will definitely help keep its strength up, and the HUFA's in the mysis will put some weight on the fish. i think if you can keep the fish eating during treatment, you stand a good chance with the cure.
