Question about quarantine

Me pregunto si habría algún problema al alimentar a los niños con alimentos medicados, que contengan sustancias como levamisol o praziquantel, durante una cuarentena en la que ya haya CopperSafe en el agua.
Tengo un *Dendrochirus* en cobre desde hace algunas semanas, y esa pregunta me vino a la mente.

Sorry.. I'm wondering if there would be any problem feeding children medicated food, containing substances like levamisole or praziquantel, during a quarantine when CopperSafe is already in the water. I've had a *Dendrochirus* in copper for a few weeks now, and that question came to mind.

I generally wait until the copper treatment is finished before using other medications. However, if the fish is showing symptoms of a disease that copper doesn’t treat, I will do both treatments at one time.

However, oral medications are very difficult to do correctly. Here is a write-up I did on this:
