Ok sounds good. I'll go with Cupramine and maybe switch to the prazipro in four weeks when I'm done with the Cupramine. It does say specifically on the Cupramine not to combine it with any other medications and I don't want to add any more stress to the fish then they're already going through.

Smart man , don't add prazi to cuprime in particular, it would not be good

Add copper slowly over 3-4 days period. Watch for reaction of fish from copper. Some fish don't tolerate copper that well. Signs of bad reaction are not eating, heavy breathing etc.
Copper is not fun to play with since it's a poison.
Good luck!

I had thought the same thing, but was talking to a LFS that seems to have great success with his newly received fish, and he has been following that regimen with no problems. I also searched on other large forums and found good success using both.
I tried it on my current new 4 fish in QT - blue tang, desjardini tang, flame angel and pakistani butterfly- and they all did fine. The biggest worry being that prazi can make fish less likely to feed. However I added S.E.L.C.O to the frozen food and pellets and the fish have continued to feed and fatten up. This is now week 4 on QT for the fish. Of note all of these fish are 3-3.75 inches so I can not say if smaller fish would have more problems.
