Copper hurting fish? If that was the case people and lfs wouldnt use it. Some lfs keep fish in their dt with regular copper dosing for long periods of time until someone buys the fish without any ill effects. Like anything else you can overdose it but use it properly and your safe.

Copper is well known to be a toxin that affects fish's internal organs. The point of copper is to poison the ich less than you poison the fish. Sometimes it works, sometimes it kills the fish. Copper is never safe.

It doesnt take 8-9 weeks either for ich to die. Ich has a 10 day life cycle. If it doesnt attach itself to another fish in 10 days its dead. People usally wait 4-6 weeks just be sure.

Actually, just few more than one's opinion here. Fairly common knowledge
He's been given the proper advice, and prefers to not do what's required. So either live with the ich, replace fish that die and carry on. Or do it right.
