I don't remember where I originally learned about copper toxicity because it was probably a decade or more ago, but a quick Google search comes up with an article in a medical journal:

Copper and Alzheimer's. [Paper]

Copper toxicity in Merck Medical Journal. [Article]

Liver cirrhosis from copper is rather unusual to typical healthy people because the liver is able to remove copper via bile. People with a genetic inability to remove copper from their systems (like Wilson`s disease) will get accumulated copper in the liver which will lead to cirrhosis.

Well that was a stupid post that I now can't edit.
I see, reading above, that you have remaining fish Brad.
I obviously confused your dilemma with someone else's.
I hope the dudes you have are doing well and fully recover.
I'm going to go back to my plumbing now before I make a bigger ass of myself that I can't edit later.

If you'd edited that away, I wouldn't be able to reply. Yes, I have a yellow tang, a clown and 2 tiny green chromis left. I guess cheap fish are more resilient to disease than the $200 fishes
