    Copper is absolutely a known cure for ich, so I don't know why you're saying it's not known to cure it. It, like formalin, only works during a certain stage of the ich lifecycle (free swimming, always forget the T name). Formalin has nearly as small of an effective window as copper, and is just as likely to hurt the fish as a dose of copper.

    I agree with copper being proven. Would like to see the latest research that says otherwise.

    If I was going to do one or the other, I would select copper.... but I like hypo.
