Need some advice about cupramine and furan-2

[JustinW]

Hey guys, so I've got 4 clowns, 2 chromis, a naso and regal tang in qt right now. All have ich (only a few spots) now the regal as we all know get it the worst. However not only has it got more white spots it also looks to have a small patch of body slime. Can furan-2 and seachem cupramine be ran together, I'm just over the half way mark to the full dose of cupramine. I'm making is slowly as this is day 4

Might want to move this to the fish disease forum.

Yes, you can combine Furan-2 (and most other antibiotics) with Cupramine. However, this may further decrease appetite, and I would increase gas exchange to compensate for added oxygen depletion.

Can you post a closeup photo of the "small patch of body slime"? Is it on any of the clowns? Could be the beginning of brook: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/brooklynella.247938/

No it's not on any of the clowns. And all the fish do still eat. I'm working on getting a close up now

That could just be stress spots on the Hippo.

It's likely stress for him. I do see ich present... and the naso ha the stress spots as well.
