Not sure on the agreement here, thoughts? And should I treat for bacterial as well?

Thx
10 days is not long enough to ensure the fish is free of parasites, namely cryptocaryon. The consensus here is 4 weeks of Cupramine at 0.40mg/l to ensure the parasite has gone through its entire life cycle and is eradicated. I personally don't treat for bacterial infections unless symptoms are present.
