Coral Beauty Angel?

It is safe to use Coppersafe with a Coral Beauty Angel fish? I have read that its not safe for all but but no specifics.

What are you trying to treat? And where are you planning on treating?

Ich in a QT

Why not do hyposalinity? Angels are not good candidates for copper treatment. Are you setting up the QT now, or is already cycled? What about other fish?

I have a bar goby, and a chromis. I used some kick ick and it seemed to help a bit, none of the fish now have any really bad break outs but I read in one of your posts that once ick is in your tank it’s in there and the only way to get rid of it is by hypo or copper. I had posted this question before and the responses where pointing towards copper. And as for setting up the QT in that last post you recommended that I use 50% water form tank and 50% new water.

Yes, copper and hyposalinity are the only viable treatments. Products like kick ich do not have a good track record.
If you water quality is good in your display, and you can spare to use it for a QT, then go with 100% water from display for the QT.
