Is there anything besides copper that can treat/prevent either in a QT tank?

CP is the only other med that will cure both. Paraguard is basically useless IME for velvet or ich. It could be helpful in an "ick management" situation or for other diseases, but not for ick or velvet.
I should clarify I've never used Paraguard, was just going on what it said on their website.CP is the only other med that will cure both. Paraguard is basically useless IME for velvet or ich. It could be helpful in an "ick management" situation or for other diseases, but not for ick or velvet.
What about quick cure for ICH and Rally for Velvet? I dont like treating my fish with copper anymore and can't seem to get a hold of CP.
Where does everyone get their CP from then?
I know I'll get flamed for this, but I have got some from a vet and eBay. Both have worked.Where does everyone get their CP from then?
It's really hard to get it from a vet...There are two people on eBay that sell it as of now. It kinda cheap. For what it worth it does work. I do believe it takes more than the prescribed version.I can't seem to get a script.

Agreed, that's why I take it slow. It is a gamble, but I have had good results. The only thing I have to compare it to was some that was given to me from a prescription. Based on that, I aleady have a idea of what it should do. I know I'll get flamed, maybe, but the best qt tank I have is where I'm using copper and cp.it certainly can work Joey. There's no question there.. the question is about the source and purity of the CP you're getting from the sources on ebay since we know they get it from China. Since we arn't capable of knowing the purity, knowing whether we are dosing the correct amount of CP in the QT is very hard. There's no test for it, so we can't just test the water and find out. There's no flame here, just a simple attempt to help others learn. I hope this helps
You'll never be flamed here. You might sometimes get corrected, or advised or even warned of a potential problem.... but I sincerely hope you never feel like you are getting flamed. If you do, please report the post to the mods so we can be aware of the situation and handle it.I know I'll get flamed, maybe, but the best qt tank I have is where I'm using copper and cp.
