Can dogface puffers handle cupramine upto 0.4 / 0.5?

Tried treating a porcupine with cupramine with zero issues but wanted to be safe and check if dogface puffers can handle it as well before I start the QT.
 
I had a dogface that I treated twice actually. I would not go as high as 0.5, I'd stay between 0.35-0.4 if you can.

Pay close attention to evaporation as it will change the concentration.
 
Puffers in general are very sensitive to ionic and chelated copper. Not saying some or even most won't take it but there have been quite a few complications with using copper. CP would be the go to for puffers and it treats almost everything besides bacterial infections.

I own quite a few wrasses who are also sensitive to ionic copper, I treated all with no ill effects, my lineatus was thrown right into therapeutic because of a velvet scare and is doing fine. If you do use copper, just ramp it up very slowly and watch the fish. Take a week to do it.

If you're local to Pa, I have some CP if you can't find it.
