I have a royal gramma in copper with either a fungal or bacterial infection on his tail I think. Using copper power currently at 1.75 and increasing to 2.0ppm by tonight. I have two wrasses in there as well (BTW I have terrible luck with wrasses so far and I NEED my pintail to make it through this!!! I’m so afraid to lose him!).

I have Kanaplex, Metroplex, Furan-2, General Cure and Neoplex... I’m assuming I should dose the water vs the food? Are any of these safe (very safe!! See wrasse comment above lol) to use with copper or should I just feed really well and hope for the best?

I have used the Kanaplex, Furan 2 and Metro together with Coper power with good success. When using antibiotics with copper you will need heavy agitation at the waters surface. I also feed food soaked in GC and Focus.

Thanks, did you just dose the water per the instructions?
