Proactively Treating During Quarantine

[snorvich]

Would it work to do 1 round of Prazi, 4 weeks copper(therapeutic dosage), 1 round of prazi, then another 4 weeks of copper work better? Otherwise do a normal copper treatment after 2 rounds of prazi and making sure the fish are eating well. Then do observation. Just trying to get down a very good idea of how my proactive treatment will work before I actually get any fish and do it. Having them die because of bad dosing or methods would be heartbreaking(and wallet breaking).

Remember that copper is bad for fish (cupramine is more gentle). I recommend four weeks followed by observation for four weeks.

Quinine Sulfate is not a reliable cure for ich, although I initially had hopes it would be.

Care to explain a little bit? Ive been reading nothing but good about QS on here.

Reports are mixed and as of now, it is not recommended as one of the proven methods.

I went to QS instead of cupramine when the guys at wet web media recommended it.

I do not recall if it was recommended over cupramine or quick cure. I did not save (cannot find) the emails.

I am aware of the recommendation and I never comment on the recommendations of others. At this point I do not recommend it.

Well the way my rock probably has ick on it from my fish for my fresh start I get to leave it fallow for 8-9 weeks. This gives me plenty of time for cupramine treatment and observation. Although the two clowns I will be adding first have been in observation for about a month now, haven't gotten to the Cupramine treatment yet(have some of my CUC that needs to be removed), but will soon. My fallow period begins when I don't add any CUC or rock correct?

That is correct.
