Cupramine and prazipro safe to add together?

[shawna1972]

Think my scopas tang has flukes keeps shaking his head and I can see something white by his gill?
Im treating with cupramine right now can I add prazi to the tank at the same time? is it going to kill my bacteria?
and how much prazi for 30 gallons?

There have been numerous people who have treated both together with no ill-effects and I haven't seen a case there there was harm done. Cupramine is one of the safest products out there, so personally, I find it unlikely anything would happen.
However, it does mention on the label not to treat Prazi with other medications. Probably a CYA catch though.
Prazi is treated @ 1 teaspoon per 20gals. Or in mL if you happen to have a syringe, 7.5mL for 30gals.

Copper toxicity can cause the shaking your describe, as can ammonia, even parasites can cause it. What symptoms aside from this are you seeing? What are your water readings?

What copper test kit are you using, how old is it and did you check it with the regent provided

Prazi Pro is safe for your biological and safe to use with other Meds. I use it with Binox to treat all of my Freshwater rays that I import in. With that said, I would be careful with using other meds with any copper based med.

Thanks for the reply,
My tangs were being treated with cupurmine I got to 0.25 and they started acting funny darting,shaking ect.... I checked everything,all seemed well. I was still concerned so finally I got a response from someone saying that cupurmine could not be used with a declorinator! < I did not no this ,It's not stated on the bottle!

and this is what I add to my water because I use well water so declorinator,with cupurmine caused my safe dose of copper to become toxic!
This is why they were shaking ,darting, ect....

I had to do a 100% water change with no declorinator and they have since been in with no copper recovering.
Both tangs are back to normal and I dont think I will take a chance of even adding a med if this is what happens when you add a simple declorinator

So Im going to let this thread die because I will not be adding both meds together but thanks everyone for your help!
