web burr puffer help

[kaylafish]

I have recently rescues a web burr puffer that had a serve eye infection and ick. The fish is now in a 20 gallon qt tank and it being treated with life bearer and copper safe. The eye infection is almost gone. However, the ich in getting worse instead of better. The water conditions are fine in that tank. Also the fish has been in the tank for about two weeks. Is there something else I should do to help the puffer?

Kaylafish, can you do hyposalinity to threat the fish rather than copper? What type of copper are you using and what are the copper leveles in the tank?

 

[kaylafish]

Yes I can do hyposalinity. As of right now, I am not sure what the level of copper is at.

Do you have a refractometer? Go ahead and begin hypo.
