Chloroquine phosphate questions

[grant k]

couple questions concerning using CP for quarantine.
Can Prime be used with CP?
I have a mandarin in the 40 g QT, it’s eating black worms and ft mysis but want to put copepods in as well (hedging my bet). Will the CP kill the copepods (or black worms as well)?
Does the CP effect biological filtration? ( as it does w copper)

I wouldn't advise using prime with CP or any other medication
CP will likely kill any inverts you add to the tank as food. Add them in small amounts to be eaten right away so they don't die and rot in between feedings.
It can effect the biological filtration, but the bacteria usually bounce back fairly quickly.

Is there any difference between using chloroquine phosphate and chloroquine sulfate?. I have only found chloroquine sulfate.

I frequently use prime with cp, never had an issue.

The saltwater kills blackworms in about a second anyway.
