I went and got three tiny green chromis and two Cardinalfish, just put them on the 20gal QT, I usually do the CP for 27 days and going to do the same for this batch with this 5 fishes.

Is CP okay for this fishes?

If you have a second tank/set of equipment you could use then you don't even need the cupramine. You could do the tank-transfer method instead.

As best I can tell, both the chromis and cardinalfish should do fine with cupramine. You do need to make sure to have it at the full-strength does for 30 days - so you might need to factor that in given that you need to ramp up the dosage a few days.

I think cardinal don't do well in CP

Why? Okay, here is the update.
Precious Sunday i did WC and added CP to compensate the new water, 2 days later one cardinal seen stuck in the return filter dead, again last Sunday did another WC and added CP, today 2 days later the other cardinal is dead, seen stuck in circulation pump. I can't think of anything else, i have 3 small chromis in the same QT and its fine so far.

The quantity of CP i dosed is 40mg/gal
