Thanks a bunch for all the work you put into teaching us hobbyists. I just read the fish medicine cabinet article and learned quite a bit. I was wondering which if any of the drugs can be mixed? I know copper and hypo together are extremely toxic. Put what about the other drugs: Metronidazole, Maracyn 1 & 2, Praziquantel, and Quinine based drugs. I'm guessing Formalin is best for dips only not long-term? I like adding Metronidazole and Praziquantel into my fish's frozen food with SeaChem's binder and feed the mix to all newly aquired individuals. Would this food be toxic in a tank that is also being treated with copper?
For example, say you bought a yellow tang that had either ick/velvet, some type of external bacterial infection, intestinal parasites, and possibly flukes...how would you go about treatment? What drugs, what order, and how long?
