Flame Angel Cupramine

[curtcherry]

I have a 29 gallon tank with a flame angel, cleaner wrasse and fridmani Psuedochromis in QT. Some say flame angels are sensitive to copper. Those with experience have any recommendations?

What are you planning to treat against?
Depending on the parasite there may be safer and more effective options.

Nothing specific at the moment. I may see some small blotchy patches on tail fin and saw one small white dot on body. Supposedly all my fish in QT have been in copper for two weeks before I received them. I have Paraguard and cupramine on hand. Now I read that flame Angels are sensitive to copper. Not sure what white patches on tail fin could be as they are not bright enough to show up on a picture. May use Paraguard but would like to hear others experience.

TTM. Ditch the copper IMO.

I agree.. TTM for ich, CP for velvet, Prazi for flukes, and Formalin for a preventive (in my case on arrival).
