Cupramine

[Mariette]

I’ve got a huge mess on my hands. DT w Velvet (maybe Ich), QT w Flukes, and bucket of inverts going fallow to starve out Flukes.

1 - Is Cupramine effective agains flukes, Velvet, and Ich? It’s a long story.

2 - I’m seeing on here ppl recommending a 30 day treatment but the bottle says 14 days?

3 - royal gramma has a nasty wound from flukes. I’m treating w hypo. Can/should I add anything in hypo to help w possible infection?

Here is an article with each pathogen listed and the treatment for such. The ich and or velvet can be treated with copper, the flukes will need Prazi, fenbendazole, or hypo salinity.
The infection on the gramma will likely need Metro, Kanaplex, and Furan 2 (known as the trifecta) or NFG if you can get it. You can run ABX’s with copper but aerate the water heavily and watch for a bacterial bloom.

You can treat copper at therapeutic levels(.5for cupramine) for 14 days then transfer to sterile tank. If you are going to use the same tank it’s a 30 day treatment
