Tomorrow I am picking up a new orange storm clownfish as one of mine died, and the LFS has a really nice looking green mandarin that they have eating mysis & brine shrimp. Can I QT the mandarin with the clownfish using coppersafe? Since I’ve seen him eating frozen, I’m hopeful that he’ll do well. He was super active at the store and my wife fell in love.

I would avoid any exposure to levels of copper for a mandarinfish. Even the lowest values can be fatal to them :/
