Shake the Prazipro bottle really well each time.

another question: If my QT tank is treating some current fix with cupramine + prazi+pro can i add/acclimate new fix to the tank now or do i have ot wait for thetreatment to be over first ot add more fish to the qt tank. I wanted to get affe more in there so they could be ready in 2 weeks to go into the display tank. DT tanks has been fallow for 6 weeks so all the ick should of died off by now in 2 weeks. So i want to get al lthe tangs in there asap.

They normally suggest that you build up the cupramine dose slowly so the fish would tolerate it better. It therefore wouldn't be good to put a new fish into a tank with full dose cupramine. However, they also say not to dose cupramine with prazipro and a lot of people seem to be doing it.

well i only put the initial dose of copper so with the test kit it's only showing 0.2mg i also did a 10 gallon water change on the 40 gallons f water
so my copper is even lower. i added the other fish today everything looks ok so far. will check in tomorrow.

Reason Seachem can't recommend mixing Cupramine with other meds is that they don't have a list of ingredients, nor do they know if that is ever changed. There are some things that do interact with Cupramine so they stay on the cautious side.
