I would use cupramine. Only safe for fish. And follow directions 100%. And don't allow any of that water to reach your display tank. It is copper, and will destroy anything not fish lol

When i qt. I deworm both internally and externally and observe. I only treat with copper if they show signs of ich/velvet.

I use paraguard when quarenteen new fish. If signs of disease then go to a stronger med. Paraguard is dosed daily and provides a mild antibiotic and parasite control. Does not build up etc.

So being that I have not seen nothing should I use something

Fresh dip and treat for internal once eating good. I dont treat anything else unless I see signs.

I always run paraguard for 7 days then if no issues stop paraguard and do not treat for remaining quarenteen time unless something comes up. Paraguard is very mild and safe. Usally the fish are stressed fir a few days so more of a preventative. I will also run some carbon after initial treatment (7 days).
