Alright thanks. I'll do that when I get done with this process

So I just checked on her tonight, and I'm gonna be honest, she is looking a lot better. Atleast 1/3 of the spots seem to be gone, she is breathing easier, her fins are growing back and she is a lot more active. So the cp is definitely doing something. I really thought she was gonna die on Friday night but she appears to be making a comeback!
The protocol suggests that 14 days will do it! Keep up the good work and no lights on the tank!

Thanks[emoji4]. There is only ambient light from the kitchen and I keep it off most of the time so no worries there. I honestly can't even believe this is the same fish, if I hadn't known how she was a few days ago then I wouldn't even know she was sick. She is a little skinny because she hasn't eaten as much since the prazi, but I can only find ONE spot on her today. Yes, a single spot. Her fins look completely healed. I'm shocked. Chloroquine phosphate is officially on my must have list to have at all times.
In my blog is a set of worthwhile stuff (including CP) to keep on hand just in case. :beer:
* Copper, ideally cupramine - for ich and other external parasites plus the Seachem test kit for copper if you must use copper instead of tank transfer
* Chloroquine phosphate for treatment of velvet (pure form)
* Praziquantel - for flukes and worms
* nitrofurazone - for open wounds or sores
* Metronidazole - for intestinal and other protozoa
* Formalin - for brook, uronema and other external parasites
* Erythromycin and Minocycline - for bacterial prevention/treatment
* kanamycin an anti-bacterial med that is very effective and gentle on fish.
* Food enhancers such as Selcon, Vitality, (I do not use garlic as it is bad for fish long term)

I have all of those things except minocycline and nitrofurazone and cupramine. I decided against getting any copper medications because I was under the impression that there are better treatments that are not as harsh, if this is not correct then please correct
Me and I will pick some up. But the other meds I will find them and be sure to pick them up.

I no longer use copper. Tank transfer eliminates ich, CP is very effective on velvet.
