Tigrinus Cat.. Ich.. Copper???

[newyorkmfk]

I recently medicated my 180 for ich as a few fish had it (not the 6 inch tigrinus) using a copper product, fritz mardel quick cure. The tigrinus seems to have had a bad reaction and is swimming around abnormally and stopped eating. I did 2 separate 25% water changes in the past 3 days and changed the carbon to take the copper out of the water and the tigrinus is still acting funny. I think he was poisoned from the copper product. Anything else I can do to save him????

Do you have another tank you can put him in? Catfish are sensitive to medications. I would put him in a separate tank alone and just moniter him for a few days.

Honestly with just 2 25% wc's there's probably still copper in the tank, just diluted.

I just put him in a separate tank by himself, going to try to get him eating again since he's stopped. Thanks
