Prazipro removal time w/carbon? Need copper treatment now

[jhOU08]

I currently have 2 clowns, royal gramma, and a firefish in quarantine. 2 weeks just observation, with no signs of illness, eating well and active.

Three days ago I dosed prazipro just to be proactive. Today the royal gramma is covered in ich spots, and one clown is flashing (no visible spots). I have cupramine on hand, but from what I understand the prazipro causes a reaction with cupramine making it deadly.

I did a 50% water change, and am now running carbon. How long until the carbon removes all the prazipro, so i can safely begin copper treatment?

I believe prazipro remains active only for 72 hours after being administered so if you have done a 50% water change, technically you should be good to run copper, but can run carbon for 24 hours to be on the safe side if you are certain you are dealing with ich and not velvet. with velvet time is of the essence since its a very fast killer.

I have never had an issue with praziquantel and copper at the same time. Are you sure you are not thinking of Prime and copper?

Prazi and copper can be dosed together. Just aerate the water.

Yes +1 with Justinm, I haven't run them together but some people have reported a bacterial bloom so very important to run air.
+1 with pfan151 do not run prime with cu

Do TTM instead of dosing copper. Easier on the fish and more effective.
