Eels and copper

[Thomashtom]

Hi, i am getting different opinions on whether eels can handle copper? Can anyone clarify? Thanks Tom

They don't handle copper well at all.

CP is the best antiparasitic treatment for an eel: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/chloroquine-phosphate.192309/

Agreed. Eels and copper (both kinds) do not have a very good track record together at all.

It's possible that they could survive treatment but the damage would be irreparable and lifespan would be significantly reduced.

Ok thanks
