Two rounds of copper ??

[jerl77]

So my fish made it though 4 weeks of copper
The display tank need to be empty for other 6 weeks due to ich
So I would like to buy more fish and treat them with copper and have them ready when I can put back in the display
But the other fish will be in the qt tank too
So this will be there second treatment of copper
You think it will be ok ????

I wouldn't do it. Exposing fish to two rounds of copper is never a good thing; plus you risk the new fish introducing flukes, brook, uronema, a bacterial infection, etc. or some other disease copper does not treat.

I would QT any new fish in a separate QT (at least 10 feet away) from your existing fish.

Agreed on all points.
