Has anyone treated a leopard wrasse with copper in their QT? All i read is that they shouldn't be in copper.
I did, some made it, some didn't so its hard to QT.

I haven't treated a Leopard wrasse but I was successful with a rhomboid and fairy wrasse using Copper Power. Both seemed unphased during the treatment.

- I made sure they were acclimated to the qt tank and eating before treatment.
- I added a small amount of copper a day. I think it took me about 4-5 days to get up to the desired dose. Pretty sure this was the key to success.

Using an API kit I played it on the safe side. I didn't want to guess with the rhomboid so I bought the Hanna Checker for copper.

I read about a lot of people having trouble with cupramine and wrasse, not sure how much truth there is to that but I steered clear.
