can you mix both of these together at the same time with fish in the quarantine tank?

I prefer to not mix those. Cupramine is a bit harsher than coppersafe or copper power. Also, general cure is praziquantel, but also has metronidazole in it, you in effect you are dosing three meds at once, so pretty stressful.

Coppersafe and plain praziquantel is pretty safe, but in general, protozoan diseases kill faster than flukes, so treating with copper and THEN prazi is the safest course of action.

If you want to treat for flukes and ich at the same time, hyposalinity is very effective.
