Is it safe to use medications to proactively treat these fish before adding it to the main tank, or should I just watch and monitor? I was planning on using Prazipro and Cupramine. Thank you in advance for the help!
 
Copper may cause box and cowfish to get Lymphocystis and won't kill off everything, especially brook is not affected at all.
I would rather do TTM to prevent ich. And against all the other protozoan, turbellarian and crustacean skin and gill parasites I would do formalin dips during the transfers.
You could additionally dose CP in the TTM tanks to be extra sure.
