Copper Power Freshwater Copper Treatment
Copper Power Freshwater Copper Treatment (4 oz)
Copper Power Freshwater is a stable, chelated copper solution specifically formulated for treating external parasites in freshwater aquariums. Chelated copper remains bioavailable at a therapeutic concentration for longer than ionic copper, providing sustained parasite control without the dramatic concentration spikes that can stress fish. It is highly effective against Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), velvet (Oodinium), and other common freshwater external parasites. Unlike ionic copper, chelated copper can be used in soft water without the dosing instability that makes ionic copper dangerous in low-hardness tanks. Not for use with invertebrates.
Key Features
- Chelated copper — stable therapeutic concentration without dangerous spikes
- Effective against Ich, velvet, and other external freshwater parasites
- Safe in soft water — chelation prevents pH-dependent concentration variability
- Not for use with freshwater invertebrates (shrimp, snails, crayfish)
- Use with a copper test kit to verify therapeutic levels
