Mixing meds

[94Roarge]

I have some fish in QT while my tank is fallow with Seachem Cupramine, but the two new fish (Kole Tang and some kind of wrasse) I put in have bacterial infections in their mouths from the store.
I was aware of this when I bought them and already have medication on hand for that exact reason.
My medication for the Bacterial infections is Waterlife Myxazin.
It says on the bottle to not use simultaneously with any other medications, but I am still clearing the Tang's ich. Are these two meds compatable or should I hold off with the Myxazin?
TIA-Rory

I'm not familiar with that medication, but I was advised that it is fine to use other antibiotics with copper. I'm tagging the experts to see if they know more about the specific med you'd like to use.

I'm not entirely sure enough to make this call. Waiting on the other experts.

Thanks still

You can mix Myxazin with Cupramine. But there is a risk of increased appetite suppression, and I recommend increasing gas exchange to compensate for decreased available O2 in the water.

 

[melypr1985]

A powerhead pointed at the surface of the water would accomplish the increased O2 for you.

^ I knew they would know [emoji23] Good luck!

Great! Thanks, knowledgeable and helpful as always!

I always have my spraybar pushing the surface for the sake of it [emoji1] thankyou thankyou

Would prime cause a bad reaction with these two meds?

With Cupramine, most definitely. Please tell me you didn't...

 

[94Roarge]

Yup :/ I had a 12h power out, did it to help with ammonia:/

[94Roarge]

Learn the worst way :/

 

[Humblefish]

So sorry

Mixing Cupramine with an ammonia reducer increases copper toxicity tenfold

 

[94Roarge]

I didn't even think about it [emoji22] trying to help them and killed them. My Toadfish is fine, and I did a 40% wc, would that be enough?

I would run carbon for 24 hrs and then restart copper treatment.

 

[94Roarge]

The need for copper is out now :/

 

[Humblefish]

Sighs

 

[94Roarge]

Well really the need for the Myxazin is out too.[emoji23]

I'm so sorry for the losses
