Review on 🐠 Fritz Mardel Coppersafe Aquarium Treatment - 4oz by Jason Sluck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Finally something works!

I rarely review products but this is an exceptional product. I've had a group of Swordtails and other fish that all got sick with symptoms that looked gross or velvety (flashing, twitching, shaking, pinched fins, lethargy, etc.) but no spots or dust typical of these infections or strong, for example the breath of gillworms indicative. I salt teak and velvet, which is usually effective; and since these fish are very salt tolerant, I dosed a tablespoon per gallon, which I felt would pretty much knock everything out. Well, despite a very temporary improvement, the symptoms persisted and the fish continued to suffer. Instead of trying many other treatments just for certain parasites, I went with a copper-friendly one that can kill many different parasites. I took my snails out of the tank and dosed them and the fish recovered within a few hours, fins erect, moving and behaving normally. I don't think I know what these fish had, but this product was very effective in breeding. I consider this the first line of defense for those struggling with these symptoms. Just make sure you remove any inverts because this stuff will kill them too!
