If you're asking about safety in a display tank FOWLER - I would go with the Ruby product. I would not use copper safe or formalin in a display tank (in fact - the directions for the Ruby product suggest treatment in a hospital tank) - so thats what I would recommend

ThanksParaguard is apparently an aldehyde and malachite green. I have not had good results with it for treating flukes, marine ich or velvet. I do use it for freshwater fish protozoan diseases. It *could* serve some purpose for treating Brooklynella (that does NOT respond well to copper). I don't have enough of a history with it to say for certain though.
I prefer coppersafe for marine protozoans (except Brook) and then hyposalinity or praziquantel for flukes.
