Chemical supply, Aesar or something like that. I used to use fishman stuff but read too many posts lately where quality was suspect.
New Life Spectrum Ich Shield Powder is CP. Ignore the marketing name and use for other diseases!

I haven't. But I think I read on wwm that someone said it didn't affect their crabs, but snails didn't do well. I wouldn't risk shrimp with it.

snails will not make it... Basically anything with a exoskeleton outside of fish will survive CP
Not sure if there was something amiss with my CP, but 5 anthias stopped eating after 12 hours, and my Moorish Idol turned really blotchy.
No NH3/NO2, so no idea. Did a 50% water change and added a ton of carbon, all fish are now doing much better after 48 hours of no CP. I'm going to re-evaluate it's use

I've read some other posts about anthias not eating, so expected. But the MI was literally marbled looking. Weird. Fine now, but scared to use the CP on him again. I'll observe for a bit and add to DT (which in all likelihood is not ich free)

My set of tierra/resplendent did the same. Then they all perished. Sad. Nothing could get them to eat afterwards. They got so thin.
After removal of CP, they're starting to nibble again. I'm hoping that they'll be right back to their piggy selves in a day or two.

I'm preparing to treat my banded cat shark with CP. Going the ick shield powder route. Anyone have any advice or warnings?
I'm treating all my other fish with cupramine in a separate QT. The DT has starfish that I don't think I can maintain elsewhere and they're already upset from the Revive I've been using. Anyone know how CP affects starfish?

I ended up losing all my fish in QT. I think what happened is that I had a lot of "feeder" zoas in there when I treated and they released toxins. Sounds strange, but it's all I've got. Don't leave zoas in treatment tanks in case I'm not crazy!

Not all fish even ones that are known to be unaffected by CP are the same just like humans aren't. Some fish will just not make it through CP and like Alprazo said to me before about this same subject "then they don't belong in your DT"
