Ok thanks for that Myaj.
I totally agree with you about the copper, after my first time using it I won't be doing it again.

Cupramine is chemically different than copper. If it was copper then it would be called copper. It's Cupramine and it's very safe.

myag what are the safer alternatives to cure ich your reffering to? I have never found another cure for ich and I have tried them all.

Salinity changes are the most common used. There's articles in the library about how to treat it, both freshwater and marine versions.

Cupramine is copper.

Cupramine is NOT "copper". It is "chelated copper". There is a difference. Hyposalinatity has never been affective fvor me with salinity as low as 1.010 for 60 days.

Puffer Queen is our saltwater guru. This is an article by her on treating saltwater ich which has been followed very successfully, and is how we recommend treating saltwater ich: http://www.thepufferforum.com/forum/lib ... tal/swich/

Do you know what the difference between something chelated and something not chelated is? Its still the same element, just more pure.

Copper comes in two forms - chelated and nonchelated.

Didn't feel like making a whole new topic about this.
I want to start treating Shelby for IP's. I'm not positive she has them but her stomache doesn't stay full for very long at all, and I believe it has to do with IP's. What are good medicines to use? I know Hoover reccomended praziquantel but I can't find that anywhere.

My LFS sells it. Did you look online?

I never thought of asking my LFS to order it. Haha I'll guess I'll ask one of them sometime within the week.
