Hi all,
I've got a pair of Bangaii Cardinals in my QT tank. I wanted to give them a couple days sans copper to make sure they were active and eating before stressing them out. They're doing well, so now I want to treat them with Coppersafe (chelated copper sulfate) for 30 days before intro into my DT. The bottle gives the proper dose, but seems to indicate it should be dosed all at once. I've heard other folks mention that it's less stressful for the fish if the copper level is raised over the course of a couple days. What should I do, does it make that much difference?
