Cupramine – SeaChem is a copper-based aquarium medication designed to eradicate ectoparasites on both freshwater and marine fish. It delivers active cupric (Cu+2) copper in a form intended to remain effective at low concentrations and to be practical for treatment in community-style aquariums. Use it when you need a copper medication for parasite control, and pair it with reliable copper testing to monitor treatment levels.
