Broomtail wrasses and CP treatment

Hi does anyone have experience with CP and Broomtail wrasses? Do they handle it well? Thanks Tom

Wrasses aren’t great with CP typically

Do not I repeat DO NOT use chloroquine phosphate with wrasse, any wrasse. Broomtails will die in CP. TTM or copper of some sort or hypo are your only options

Yes all wrasse. Not sure about Tuskfish but I assume they will do poorly in CP too

Thank you, I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to just outright kill them with it. Would Chloroquine phosphate be a better solution? I have access to that as well.

For the Tusk, yes; wrasses NO...

Wont let me post the link to the topic from another site.

ok thanks, my situation is that i have a personifer angel that has been showing signs of ich for about 1 and 1/2 months. I used CP in DT about 4 months ago and ich showed back up about 2 1/2 months after. The broomtail was in another tank which has an emperator angel in it now. I want to put Emp and porcupine in DT. Should i put them in and then treat with maybe copper? The problem is that it is a Fowler tank that i never used copper in. Has anyone used copper in a Fowler tank with success now that i cant use CP? Thanks Tom

I have used copper in a FOWLR and all fish stopped eating for the entire treatment of 30 days. I would look at hypo. False personifer or True? I love those angels
