Hello, thanks for reading.
It has been approx 50 days now since beginning of copper treatment (kept min .25 constant) in qt.
around two days ago, I noticed blue hippo hysterically scratching one side of her body.
occasional one-time scratch is ok, but it's pretty severe now.
can't find ich spot yet. also nothing found in FW dip.
dt is about 6 feet away from the qt, but really? even if it's not 10 feet, the qt's been copper soup for 50+ days...
so my question would be..
1. what would be the likely cause of this severe scratching
2. say free-swimming ich flew in from the dt... wouldn't the copper have taken care of those parachute ich troops?
