I searched but did not find one. There are many good threads on using copper, but I'm wanting a simple poll, on whether you use copper on any new arrival or wait and see if anything shows up ?

I've seen mixed reviews here and my local stores are the same, even to which employee speak to !

YES Copper-
NO Wait-
 
I treat all new comers in a fw dip then into ttm or cp depending on the fish. Then observation for awhile for anything i missed. I still havent setup an invert qt so this is probably for nuaght.
 
Can the mods create a poll ?

It's great here, but easier for people (and me) to just look at a poll. Yes or no, ...ya no.
 
I'd rather risk killing a new fish than kill my display tanks full of healthy and often expensive ornamental fish by skipping. I would of course prefer not to kill ANY fish but no new fish is worth risking my others, IMO
 
My small tablet does not show the top, time to go back to my laptop.
Thanks...
 
I rarely use copper. Instead I use CP.

I voted yes, since I do treat every fish.
