Effects of chemicals on breeding?

[ian20]

Hi, I was just wandering if anyone had any experience with treating clownfish with copper, PraziPro, and so on, and the effect it has on breeding. I have herd it can make clowns sterile. Is that true or will they start breeding again. Thanks.

I have treated clowns with most medicatioins including the infamous copper and have still gotten regular spawns and quality nests from the pairs.

It can put them off breeding if they are currently breeding when you treat, but what your treating for can also have the same effect. When the ill you are treating is cured, and the med's removed from the water, the fish will resume breeding once they are back in breeding condition.

That's what I thought. Thanks for the replies.
