Fish treatment

[thompson2224]

I am going to be buying my first batch of fish for my new tank next weekend so I can hopefully get them in the tank by the end of may. I am going to have my LFS hold them for 2 weeks so I can observe them. The fish I am getting are:

2 clowns
1 mandarin goby
1 saddle valentini puffer
1 african cleaner wrasse
1 diamond goby

I will be putting a few other fish in the tank after I get these into the DT. I am probably going to run copper or cupramine mixed with the TT method. I already know that I shouldn't keep the mandarin with copper, is there any other fish in that list that should not be in copper or is more sensitive to treatment?

Maybe I'm reading this wrong but I'm confused. Are you putting all of these fish directly into the DT right away? How long has you DT been established? Are there any fish in there now? Are you planning on dosing copper in conjunction with TT?

No I am not putting them directly into the DT. I plan to QT them first using either just copper, or copper and TT. My tank has been established since october, I did have fish but I had an ich outbreak which led me to letting the tank go fallow for the past 10 weeks, I am going to start the QT process soon, my LFS is holding the fish now for 2 weeks so I can observe them and he can do a soft QT on them in his tanks that are not connected to his fish systems so other incoming fish will not affect them. In two weeks I will pick them up and put them in QT for 4 weeks minimum assuming no ich shows up. At the end of this QT period the tank will have been fallow for 16 weeks with just coral, cleaner shrimps, snails, and other inverts. So now back to my original question, of the fish I listed are any of them sensitive to copper? I know the mandarin is and I plan to keep him in a separate tank without copper should I keep any of the other fish with him as well?
