Ich !!!

[rockworm]

I currently have a racoon in QT. I am using cupramine (copper) treatment. You put half the full dose in on day one, then the other half after 48 hours. I think (don't have the bottle in front of me) you maintain the full dose for 10 days.

During this time, you have to monitor the water condition for ammonia as there will be no denitrifying bactieria. The copper kills it all. Frequent water changes may be necessary.

The 45 days, I believe, refers to leaving the display tank fallow (no fish) to ensure that the ich cycle is brolken and all traces of ich in the display die off.
