So a couple of weeks ago my fish came down with Ich. Pulled them out of DT into a quarantine tank (32gallon.)
Coming along nicely, all better.
So yesterday was time for a water change. Took out 20% and thought I’d “top up” the medication.
So added some more PraziPro and 1ml of Cupramine. I don’t test for Cu mainly because most tests are inaccurate.
Anyway all done. Happened by the QT tank a couple of hours later and uh oh! All fish were panting. My Flame Angel was lying on its side. Not good.
I figured too much Cu so did a 60% water change (all I had on hand.). Luckily within an hour all fish were back to their normal selves.
Got REAL lucky.
Moral of the story, either test or be very careful adding meds.
