Let me start by saying I hate copper treatment. I use CP as I feel it is much safer and less toxic to the fish. Copper is a poison and you hope that the parasite dies before the fish, because copper will eventually kill both.
Does copper cause damage to the fish's anatomy where they don't live a full life? I know lionfish treated with copper never live past 3 years.
I'm looking into getting a nice wrasse, but there is anecdotal evidence that wrasses don't tolerate CP. There is an online vendor that treats with copper, but I don't want a fish for 2 years. I want a fish for 20 years.
