Medications

For Qt, are these the two meds I need to focus on?

They are the two products I use (well, I use pure prazi). Aerate the tank with a bubbler when running Prazipro. I use Coppersafe for 30 days, then 3x prazi treatments over two weeks, then 2 weeks of observation. I never treat with antibiotic unless I have a clear sign that they are needed.

Some people opt for General Cure over Prazipro.

There are *some* fish I don't run under this regimen, but I do for most.

I pretty much do the same thing as Jay, but I use cupramine for 3-4 weeks instead of copper safe. I also keep nitrofuracin green powder from Nation Fish Pharmacy on hand for weird red sores that can sometimes appear on butterflies.
