Yes, I use one tank. I think people vastly underestimate the stress of tank transfer

Is this an error? There is no need to dose CP twice. Did you mean the second dose of GC?

Yes, that is what I meant. Too many abbreviations

I’d suggest two doses of general cure speed 6 days apart to insure there are no flukes.
Hello All...........I would like to source some CP for some fish I I just purchased.....going to put them through some Prazipro first, then I would like to do 30 days in CP per Humblefish's recommended procedure. I dont need much...5grams would be more than enough......my qt is just 15 gallons so 5g would give me enough to go through several QT's......
It sounds like the previous source (Diamondback Drugs) has drastically increased the cost of CP, basically to a level that makes it unattainable for me.......
My Questions:
1. yIs there any other sources for the POWDERED version of CP at any other pharmacies? If so, can I get a name or link? On Monday I will be asking my Vet for a script, so I would like to tell him where t send the script.
2. Finally, I notice "National Fish Pharm" has CP in powder form but since it doesnt look like there is a required script, I question its quality......Is anyone using NFP sourced CP with success??
Thanks for all the help!!

I use NFP. It works fine. I dose at 50mg/gal to make up for any loss of purity. Humblefish had it tested, and it was something like 98% pure.
On a side note.....100grams looks like the lowest volume I can purchase..............That is Way too much for me since my QT is only 15gal..........Is there anybody out there that needs some.....Maybe we can split the cost. Once I get it, I can send out 50g for 25.00 + shipping..............which cant be more than a few bucks.......

You might want to discuss shipping with UPS or USPS beforehand for guidance. Shipping a white powder these days might be problematic.
That said I'm in SW Florida and if you're anywhere nearby I'd be happy to give you 5 grams of CP ordered from Diamondback drugs. My 90 gal is comfortably populated right now and I've got enough to share. Just concerned about shipping.

They don't open the packages. Even if they did, it's in a package and clearly marked as to what it is.

I wasn't referring to shipping from the Pharm. Co; rather to someone dividing up a quantity and repackaging.
hey Peter....LOL i didnt even think about that......thanks for the offer...i would love to get 5g from you but im in ohio....after thinking about it a bit...i think i should be ok sending it as long as i have it labeled maybe with part of this thread identifying what it is and what its used for.....i think i should be ok...but i understand if u r uncomfortable shipping it.....

If you can find the thread where he was talking about starting his business. It's in there. He needed CP in bulk.
+1,000 whatever @Humblefish has to say concerning Chloroquine phosphate is spot on. Everybody check out aquabid.com & go to the medications section, there’s someone (mvp aquatics)posting Chloroquine phosphate on there as low as 10grams & free shipping( they post a lot of meds on there), hope this helps.
Thanks Hunblefish........OK great.....good enough for me....I will get some today.
Again though...anybody reading this forum...if you need some, I can divide up the cost and send to you.....not looking to make any money here, I'll charge you exactly what I pay for it per gram....If I can get 1 to 6 people that need some that would be great to split up the cost
