Perform copper treatment during Hyposalinity

[jackalcleo]

Try searching for this and couldn't find much info.

Is it beneficial to do that or have adverse effect?

As hypo don't cure all disease.

Anyone try before?

Can let me know the danger of it? Copper is more toxic or act differently in hypo situation?

Are you sure it's velvet in the first place? If you're gonna use copper, there's no need to use hyposalinity since copper treats both...

Both treatments induce stress on the fishes, although it is said that hyposalinity is gentler on the fishes... But why go for both to induce double stress when copper can rid both ich and velvet?

I remembered reading somewhere that it is not recommended to use copper in hyposalinity conditions... But I can't seem to find the article already... Sorry about that...

Any video of ur tank?

Try not to stress the fishes will b a better bet..too much stress will kill the healthy fishes n need not say the sick fishes too..so it will b a total loss..

Velvet can't be eradicate by hypo  but fully agree on the stress level.
