[Pinstripes]

I have 3 clowns which I suspect are sick iand are in a quarantine tank. I think they have some sort brookenella or ich. I put coppersafe medicine which it said it will treat the water for one month? I was wondering how long I should leave them in there for?

Hi PIn


If they have Brook you need to treat with formaline dips and then place in hospital for 4 weeks.
If it is ick you keep in hopital tank for 4-6 weeks.(6 is better) And keep the main display fish free if they have been in there.
But i would make sure you know what they have first as cooper is hard on fish and if they have brook they don't need the extra grief &meds...
I would hypo over cooper if they have ick as it is easier and not as hard on them...imo

Good Luck
