Cupramine dosing help needed
I have a fish in QT right now that I got from live aquaria. Haven’t put him in my display tank as I’ve been watching him in quarantine and I’m pretty sure he has Ich. He had two white spots and now has a third, and is shaking and kind of swimming on his side. Also hiding out a lot more. So I started Cupramine two days ago, but I’ve only given him the first dose. I haven’t yet given him the second dose of Cooper yet because when I test my copper levels (using the la motte copper test) It is showing that I am at, or maybe even above the 0.5 level.... But this is just with the one dose. I want to make sure he gets the full dose of medication, but don’t want to risk overdosing him by adding the second dose.
Has anyone else ever run into this? Also, should I be doing water changes while Cupramine is doing its thing? I assume not but wondering g if it’s ok to go 2.5 weeks with no WC
