Prazipro, Ruby Reef, Copper Power. But make sure you also get a Hanna Copper checker, because if you do have to run Copper, you have to keep it between certain parameters for therapeutic effects.

That’s if you’re in the US. Canada and the EU have issues getting a lot of proper fish meds.

I would have more copper and Prazipro on hand. Additionally If you can obtain formalin or a formalin containing product that may help for brooklynella (metronidazole as well). A broad spectrum antibiotic (kanamycin/neomycin) is often recommended. Remember that all of these medications have expiration dates - so watch that.

I would consider repeating the QT process for both fish and leaving your display fallow for 6-8 weeks.
