Combining General Cure with CP

[ltrace]

I just put my 8 small fish into a 50gal QT after losing two fish in the last 3 weeks. Neither fish showed any sign of disease. I do know what killed them so i didn't want to risk the 8 other fish. I'm going to leave the DT fallow for 76 days, leaving corals, shrimps, snails, crabs and anemone in the DT . I put CP in the QT before putting in the fish. I also gave each fish a 5 mins freshwater dip before adding to QT. Except the Royal Gamma which was stressing after 3 mins. My question is do I also add General Cure as well to the QT?

That will treat for worms (which CP does not address), and you can safely combine GC with CP. So, I say go ahead and do it.

Thank you for your response. Would either CP or GC help with bacterial or fungus infection. Just trying to cover all bases.

Fungal infections are pretty rare in SW fish; an antibiotic such as Kanaplex or Furan-2 would be needed for a bacterial infection. But since those typically show themselves (red sore, white film) on the skin, it's best to wait before treating as antibiotics can be harsh on certain fish.

I think some people don't know the difference between fungus and bacteria. I too thought they were the same (fuzzy stuff). Is there a picture of fungus vs bacteria? That might help.
