Nearly every fish shop around here runs therapeutic copper in their tanks. Also Liveaquaria's divers den runs .15ppm in their system. After getting a fish and have it break out in velvet several days later despite copper in their tanks, I was curious, can running therapeutic levels of copper suppress a disease while the fish is still a carrier?
Any lapse in copper concentration during treatment can result in a failed round of medication. Is it possible running lower levels does just enough to keep the fish looking healthy when purchased just for the disease to rear its ugly head later on?
