I’m using a one tank method. Using a 10 gallon tank. Before I’ve dosed prazi first x2. Slowly bringing copper up at the same time. Now I’m seeing to feed them with meds I don’t have and copper first prazi last. Any advise?

You don’t have to follow any particular protocol to the letter when it comes to treating for particular conditions. These are just guidelines meant to help.

If you’re done with prazi, do a water change and then do copper. The reason to space it out is oxygen depletion caused by both copper and prazi. You can feed medicated food throughout or once you are finished with copper.

What’s the current thinking? Copper first then prazi at the end of the 30 days or prazi first with copper?

I haven’t added any meds yet.

It would depend on whether and what symptoms fish present. If you notice flukes I would go with prazi first. If ich or velvet then definitely copper. If there are no visible symptoms then it doesn’t matter as much.

Used to be prazi/GC first then copper. Then the Velvet epidemic happened so most reversed the order and started with copper. It's your call. Depends on the condition of your fish. But most are following the lead of @HotRocks and @4FordFamily and predosing at 1.0 ppm of copper and Spectrogram and then GC or Prazipro & Metro later.

Flukes aren’t generally as life threatening as velvet. :)

Pay attention though and if need be you can do prazi baths for temp relief.
