Treating with cupramine

[marlin85]

Im just wondering if its ok to add a fish into a tank that has a copper treatment allready going which is at .50 ppm?

Thanks

i would highly recommend against it. copper is quite stressful on the fish and subjecting a fish to full strength copper is a lot of stress. the fish may stop eating and become lethargic. follow the instruction on the bottle and ramp the dosage up slowly.

I agree. If you have a fish on the way and have to QT it in a tank with copper; please let us know. there are easy ways to do this. Of course, this will increase the QT time for the fish that are already there.
