Unfortunately one of my display tanks has ich and likely flukes. I've pulled all my fish and they are currently in copper. However, I have a fat and healthy 5 year old mandarin that I have isolated in a separate 20g tank. I wanted to observe her to see if she actually developed any symptoms and unfortunately it looks like she's infected as all. I was planning on using chloroquine phosphate, but I hate that I can't measure the levels. I came across a post where @Jay Hemdal said he's used coppersafe on sharks and other sensitive species. Is that an option for my mandarin? How quickly can I raise the copper and what's my therapeutic concentration to aim for? What do I need to look for in case she can't tolerate it?
