Yeah I understand. At best it's a weak medication. I guess I'm trying to justify not having to quarantine fish before I put them in my display. So during this quarantine period (how long?) what other than external parisites get killed and what can be completely eradicated from your display?
I heard cupramine is the best copper, but what is cp? Any other meds anyone would reccomend?

CP is chloroquine phophate, said to work against ich, velvet and brooklynella. I've just heard about and used it recently, and I'm happy with the results. I know that it's fun to come up with reasons not to run a q tank, I did for 12+ years. It always worked, until it didn't. I lost about $1000 worth of fish in a week over adding a fish I didn't really want in the first place, but made an impulse purchase. I will not do that again. Once I've added my new treated fish, I will not add another fish without treating it first. This will likely mean not adding another fish, since I really don't want to quarantine. But if I find a must have fish, I will.
