Hey guys! Sorry to keep posting I’m just learning about ich and copper and I have all these questions. I’ve currently got a sailfin tang in quarantine that I plan to keep in there for a month. Then after the month is up, WITHOUT lowering the copper, catch it, FW dip it for a fluke test, and then put it in a bucket, lower copper in the bucket using cuprisorb then straight into my display.
I was thinking since Ich only has that feeding stage on the tang for 9 days, wouldn’t it make sense that copper treatment a day or two over 9 days would be sufficient to get rid of the ich by having it fall off the fish? The ich would still be in the QT of course but none would be on the fish.
Or is the reason people don’t do this because it leaves too little room for error?
