Dusty appearance usually indicates velvet, so I would treat with copper or Chloroquine.
He's been in Coppersafe that's testing at 2.00 for almost 2 weeks

@melypr1985 has had a similar problem with a Hippo Tang that has been in and out of Coppersafe as well. Hopefully this isn't some sort of copper resistant parasite.
Be sure to look read the test from the top, not the side.

I've wondered if that is coming. Tanks getting low level copper in stores to keep disease down could provoke this. After enough time with not therapeutic doses clay cause ick/velvet to become resistant. Much like MRSA or VRSA
I've had this particular fish for about a year, and got it from someone who had it for a year before that. So I don't think that was the issue. I was severely overdosing... I'll bet it was at 4 or worse. So that's why I ask.... is the ich and Velvet dead for sure?! Lol
As long as the levels were above 1.5 ppm for a full 30 days then they should be. He survived it and can now be observed in a non medicated tank for a couple weeks to be sure he's ok.
under the proper dose
What do you mean by that? Under therapeutic levels?
Correct, under the correct therapeutic level and not over dosed.
have a light case of black ich. Can that survive the CP?
Yes. You'll need prazi for black ich. If you can manage to do a freshwater dip on one of them, you can confirm/rule out black ich and flukes.
I have bad luck with freshwater dips... I'd almost rather just treat them with prazi....
The dilemma is its not a good idea to mix Prazipro with CP. Better to use API General Cure, which contains powder praziquantel plus metro.
