Hi guys, As above my YT is in QT and has been now for about a week due to ich. I have been treating with Cupramine and the final day will be next Friday (I was trying polyplab medic previously which didnt work). He has recently lost his appetite,still eating bits but not as greedy as he used...

Hey everyone, so I have done extensive research on ich and velvet. I made the mistake of not QTing a Powder Blue Tang (yes, I learned my lesson) and him and my hippo tang got ick. Long story short i set up two hospital tanks to treat all fish: 1. 55 gallon I’m using cupramine 2. A 29 gallon I’m...

Hi! Im new to saltwater fish keeping. My 2 clownfish have ich so im thinking about setting up a 5.5 gallon QT and dosing it with Cooper. Im just wondering what kind of cheap filter and filter media i would need for it. I heard that carbon is not a good idea while using Cooper, but most cheaper...

I have been quarantining a pearlscale butterfly, bannerfish, and dartfish (in three different tanks). They are all eating well and i have treated them all with api general care. They are not showing any signs of ich, marine velvet, etc. im wondering if i will need to treat them with copper. In...

In order to try and decide why some think there is a high percentage of disease/parasites now as compared to years past - I decided to check with several LFS and a couple large shippers - If you own an LFS - or have data concerning what copper (if any) your LFS (or wholesaler uses) Please...

We received a Coral Beauty Angelfish exactly two weeks ago from an online vendor. Nothing seemed to be wrong with her during the 1st week of monitoring in a 7 gal QT with a super tiny clownfish from the same vendor. Yesterday, the clownfish unexpectedly died with no outer symptoms that I could...

I have 5 fish showing signs of illness. Powderbrown, Fox Face and PJ Cardinal - all looked like ICH, so I put them in a QT and started copper. FoxFace looks like he may also have Brook. 2 days later my female clown appears to have Brook. Obviously already exposed to ICH as well. I have...

Hi..are picasso triggerfish compatible with cupramine for treatment for suspected velvet? For instance, in a scale of 1-5, how sensitive are they to cupramine? For instance, clownfish are more tolerant to copper than tangs. Where do triggers fit in? I have seen the compatibility chart by melypr...

I'll be housing black mollies in a tank for 2-3 days for them to settle down before acclimating them to saltwater. The tank was recently used for Cupramine treatment (19 days), after which I cleaned it with vinegar and since then it has been sitting dry and empty. As this is freshwater I must...

Hi, I have a medium sized cowfish in a 150 gallon tank with other tankmates. Got him about 2 months ago and he has been doing fine and eating really well. I just noticed about a week ago that he has ick. His eyes are cloudy. he stopped eating two days ago....not that he was not...

Hi Reef2Reef, I've been in a bit of a knotty situation ... I've had a young springer's damselfish in the quarantine for almost 70 days now, but I'm not sure if I should transfer this fish to my display. At first I had this damselfish and two neon gobies together, all juvenile. The two neon...

Hi..im just had a velvet outbreak. i got cupramine and dosed the 1st dose. I followed the direction on bottle label. My label says 20 drops per gallon. My label corresponds to that on seachem website. But i see ppl commenting 16 drops per gallon, 10 drops per gallon. Did I overdose? What is the...

Hi, few quick questions? Does cupramine levels increase with evaporation or remain at levels pre-evaporation? If increase, i would then need to constantly maintain it at certain water level? If same, do i need to add cupramine to top off water cause it then seems i would be...

Hi, I suspect that my Copperband Butterfly might have velvet. I was going to treat him with Cupramine, but then I read something about CP. I'm interested to know more about it, but I have no idea where to look. If anyone has used this treatment before, I'd love it if you could share your...
