When the poor guy arrived he was horribly stressed and obviously hadn't wanted to be caught because he was badly scraped up. The day after, he had all the symptoms of marine velvet and ich so I started treatment with cupramine.
After 2 weeks he was still not interested in eating so I started adding vitamin b12 to the water, within 4 hrs of adding the vitamin he was picking at the film algae on the glass and by the end of another week he was eating mysis and nori.
I really thought he wasn't going to make it and I was feeling very guilty buying him but lucky for him it all worked out
