QT with new fish, copper or Prazipro first?

[ojonas81]

As title says, should I start with copper treatment or Prazipro first or does it matter? These are all new fish from Liveaquaria with no obvious signs of any diseases but more of a prophylactic treatment.

I wouldn't use any of it unless there are signs of problems. But if I do have to choose one, I would use seachem cupermine, which is a kind of copper, since it's the best solution to take care of ich IMO.

I am no expert but I do Prazipro first, 50% WC and then copper. Two weeks of each treatment.

I generally will treat with Prazipro (2 rounds - 5 days apart) before beginning copper (or CP) treatment. Unless I suspect a parasitic infection. Whatever you do, don't treat with anything until the fish is eating first.

That was what I wanted to do. Even though you don't see any parasites doesn't mean that there aren't any. All fish eat well in QT so will probably start the first Prazipro treatment tonight. Thanks!
