I’m not sure I’m finding a good answer for this on the google
If all fishes are in copper and one comes up with uronema, can the parasite transfer to other fishes in the hospital? I know copper doesn’t work well on uronema but I’m not sure if that’s because it’s internal. Would the copper kill it as it free floats?

I dont know the answer for sure, but I suspect the uronema can transfer through copper treated water.

I think that copper just wont kill uronema, be it internal or external. Look at CP. It kills uronema, but only if its external. If it has spread internally you must feed metro to kill it. So, it stands to reason that if copper could kill uronema it would act like CP and kill external infections.
