Chloroquine Phosphate

[microlady]

I am currently performing TTM on my fish, and I'd like to know if that is usually enough to solve crypto. Or should I dose CP for 10 days after? That would knock out velvet too, so it might be a good idea. I also plan to dose with Prazi.

Where is a good source for CP?

Thanks!

TTM is enough for cryptocaryon irritans. CP is the treatment of choice for velvet.

Ok thanks! I'm just trying to cover all of the bases while they are in quarantine. I've had all of the fish for over a year, so I'm pretty sure they don't have velvet (unless they are asymptomatic carriers). Can fish carry velvet in a dormant phase (like crypto)?

Could you recommend a good source for CP just in case I'll need it in the future for new additions?

There is no evidence that velvet can remain dormant on a fish. It is highly virulent, and the infestation progresses rapidly.

CP is available in retail packaging as ICK-SHIELD Powder by NLS: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MNQWACU
