Product details
Fritz Coppersafe 16oz (42060) is a copper-based solution used in aquarium water to help treat certain external fish parasites and protozoan diseases, including Ich (Ichthyophthirius), flukes (Gyrodactylus), and anchor worms. In practical use, it supports treating the aquarium during outbreaks so affected fish can be treated while the disease runs through its life stages, including the free-swimming stage.
Features:
- Helps control white spot (Ich/Ichthyophthirius) and other external parasites such as flukes (Gyrodactylus) and anchor worms
- Designed for freshwater and saltwater aquariums
- A stable, non-staining concentrate that does not color aquarium water
- Remains active in the aquarium water for over one month to support treatment over time
- Will not interfere with the biological filter
- Maintains therapeutic copper level by adding Coppersafe to replacement water during water changes
- Because it is stable in water, partial water changes are the quickest way to remove it from the aquarium when needed
