Fritz Aquatics Fritz Mardel - Coppersafe - 4oz

Aquarium Copper Safe by Mardel is a copper-based medication that treats Ich, Velvet, and other parasites. The medication contains 2% chelated copper, which makes it safer and stable in water for up to a month. Copper Safe claims to be gentle on fish and not dye your tank ornaments. The product comes in a bottle without packaging or box. The medication is not reef safe and may kill anemones and soft corals. It also cannot be used with snails, shrimp, or plants. Copper safe is safe for aquatic vertebrates, including scaleless fish like loaches. One customer review praised the Copper Safe for being effective in treating Ich and other parasites. The user did not change the water after using Kordon Rapid Cure and found Copper Safe better at treating the full Ich cycle. Another user found the medication easy to use and effective in eradicating snails. A customer who used Copper Safe with a combination of warmer tank, aquarium salt, and Hikari Betta Revive saw improvement in their betta's health. However, some customers experienced issues with the product. One user lost half of their angels and all of their rams, and it took a month for their angels to recover. Another customer received a cracked bottle that spilled during delivery. Overall, Copper Safe by Mardel is a useful medication that effectively treats Ich, Velvet, and other parasites. However, it may not be suitable for reef tanks or tanks with invertebrates. Customers should follow the instructions carefully and avoid using it with snails, shrimp, or plants.
