CopperSafe is generally fine with most fish. The way I usually dose it is at a quarter dose every four or eight hours while I'm there to observe the fish. If any of them start to react badly, I can do an emergency water change. I've never had a fish react badly this way. I think adding a quarter dose at a time helps acclimate them better than a full dose at once.

Thank you lotus. I used coppersafe before in the summer and lost one angel. But that angel was just a baby and could of been a weak fish. The one I have now is a nice sixe and healthy. I hate having ick. A real pain in the butt. Thank you again. May all your fish stay healthy. Tina
