I had an ich outbreak in my DT so I moved all my fish to a hospital tank. I’ve been treating with Cupramine for over 30 days and when I was ready to start eliminating the copper, I used the water from the hospital tank for a smaller tank of saltwater guppies. My logic I might as well treat them too since I plan on adding a few of them into my DT. A day later they all had ich, now I’m treating them with cupramine too. My question is how could it be that I still have ich in my hospital tank after 30 days of cupramine and running copper tests to ensure proper dosage. I kept it between .05 and .06 (colors are hard to read). The max dose tolerable is .08 (not recommended) and and recommended treatment is 14 days.
My other issue is my purple tang has HLLE probably due to the copper, but now I have to continue the treatment. Should I increase to .07-.08 for 14 days? I already lost a tang and a copperband at the beginning of the treatment so I’m worried about increasing dosage. Thank you
