Hey Reefers,
I'm currently running a course of QT on a new batch of fish. I've kicked off my Copper Power treatment, which is now in its 8th day of being therapeutic @ 2.25 ppm. I performed a freshwater dip on my Regal Angelfish and have also confirmed the presence of flukes. I suspected that flukes had been present due to one of its eyes starting to go cloudy. I wasn't wrong and it was literally infested.
I'm from Australia, so our access to all the recommended good medications is rather limited. I've previously (on another batch of fish that I've QT'd) used this [0] product for treating Flukes, but I'm not sure what the stance is when it comes to using this tablet form of Praziquantel with Copper Power concurrently.
I've crawled through existing Prazi/Copper related threads on R2R, but most, if not all had referenced Prazipro specifically, which to my knowledge is in a different state to its tablet/powder form. That being said, is it OK to mix both Copper Power and Praziquantel tablets?
My plan is to run a 14 day Copper Power treatment and then transfer the fish across to a new sterile observation systems. Given how bad the infestation actually was, I'm worried that waiting out the 6 extra days might have detrimental effects on the fish.
