Be careful doing that because copper and hypo don’t mix and if you get a fish cone down with velvet then you have to raise salinity before treating. If you’re going to use hypo for flukes I’d do it after copper.
I know cp can't be used on hippos but can it be used in general to treat velvet in hypo for fish who aren't sensitive?

I wouldn’t. My experience with it is limited since I’ve only used it a couple of times, myself... but I’d be concerned that it would be too stressful and the fish would stop eating. Appetite suppression can be a challenge without the added stress of hypo.

Thanks, hopefully it's not something that I need to worry about but it's a question that came to mind when I was reading back through some of this

Those other ones come with tables and various scenarios. Keep it simple and make planned changes based on various inputs.
I'm going to start writing some of this information down in a notebook that I'll keep near all my medications so I can reference it easier, a book has always been easier for me to look something up in than this magic little box I'm holding

That’s a good idea. Here are two reference books. The Merck has a much newer edition than mine available I am sure.

She's doing really well, I caught her swimming around the tank when I got home!

Boy she does look much better!

I have a question about the methelyne blue, Humble's post says to dose every other day after a water change for in tank treatment, how much water should I be changing out?

Bump.

@SDK was nice enough to send me a starter culture of Grindal Worms at the beginning of this adventure, I've been growing them out in a few separate containers and they're multiplying like crazy.

I'm not able to offer a whole lot but, as a way of saying thank you for everyone's extreme generosity, I'd like to offer a starter culture to anyone who wants one. If you send me a message with your mailing address I will gladly send you some.

Me: worms
Her: F$&$@&&$&@&&)ck NO!!!
