Cupramine question...

[BfishLpond78]

I'm going to be doing a 10 week QT of all fish in a 55 gal. I have, purple tang, algae blenny, royal gramma, purple firefish, two clowns, two Anthias, Orange goby and a mandarin...are any of these fish NOT SAFE in a cupramine treated tank?

I believe most copper based medications are only unsafe to scaleless fish

They are all safe to dose copper. But how are you going to feed the mandarin in qt. The copper will kill the pods

This is when my two mandarins started eating anything you threw at them female took longer got little skinny but puffed right back up took alot of work coule times a day to get th started

Well I'm gonna unfortunately have to hope for the best...as I'm treating the fish for ick I'm treating the DT for red bugs...so either way I'm gonna have dead pods...I may just call up reef nutrition and ask to buy a case of pods...ok do a mandarin can be treated in a copper QT???? I'm reading too many controversial stories on this....

What about Anthias???

I treat copper safe by mardel and had two wild mandarins in my qt for two months with out a problem while I switched and cycled tanks if you buy pods keep th separate and throw a bunch in every day they might live long enough for the mandarin to eat but if its bare bottom qt they see food float by they get interested quickly. Wish you luck
Ps I even qted my pistol shrimp and goby but oddly my goby died not the shrimp didn't want to transport isopods and ick to my new tank so I had to play it safe
