Coppermine and paraguard.

[AdamSabina]

My new tang is in QT for 7days now with paraguard. It's starting to show signs of ich do I NEED to do a water change before switching medications? Or can I add the cupramine now?

It is my recollection that Paraguard (as opposed to Paragard) is herbal; if so, it should not interact with copper. However, tank transfer is the best way to handle a fish with ich in quarantine.

Tank transfer? I'm not familiar with that. What's the advantage over dosing the QT. Right now I just have the one hospital/QT tank. I could set up another.

Look here and look at the Tank Transfer link. Works well, very easy and effective for ich, but NOT for any other parasite

Thank you. Interesting idea.
