that my fish are all doing very well, and eating well in coppersafe

Thank you! That's very kind of you. I'm very glad to hear your fish are doing well for you. :) That's the best part!

Meredith...I believe that you told me some time ago that you knew how to get in touch with Scott W. Michael...I have a question about feeding with clam shells...if you look under the fish forum, I go through it in some detail...any help would be appreciated...Ken

I dont think that was me sweetie. I know some other people in the industry, but I don't think I know him. I'll go take a look at the thread though.

I have a question if I may in regards to copper treatment. I have a goby that I want to put through copper but he's literally no bigger than 3/4in, and I'm worried that he is so small that it'll be too harsh. I can certainly do ttm but with how prevalent velvet is I'm not sure I want to take that risk. What is your opinion on this situation @melypr1985?

What goby is it? Yasha haze? yellow rose? I've put the yellow rose goby through copper no problem. I think with care, it should be just fine. The size of the fish doesn't dictate their ability to withstand copper treatment. it's an individual thing in most cases. Try it slowly, if they display copper intolerance, then you can always switch to TTM.

If you need a good source for Chloquine Phosphate, I have it...

Sorry it's a green banded goby. I've always used coppersafe.

Wish I remembered this list was here, as I just tried to put 2 already beat up Lyre Tail Anthias that I bought at a discount through CP. One died after 48hours the other 72hours.:(

Never use CP on wrasses, anthias or Hippo Tangs. At least for the time being.

Me too, Mel! They were already looking rough. Thought I could maybe save them. I feel bad [emoji17]

Don't feel bad for trying your best. :)
