Hey guys I found some copper sulfate for marine aquarium use(at the pet shop) Would it be ok to use in fresh water aquarium? The copper sulfate that I got is very,VERY old(EXP 1998)

Yes Its the main tank that I intend to fallow,but its so hard to catch those little guys.

Ok here is what am going to do,I will move the fish to my 15gal QT and let the tank fallow for 5 days (to kill all free swimming parasites) .I have some babies in my main tank.Would that be a problem?

Thanks Fruitbat(great info).I found a product called Formalin(by Kordon) and some old product which containe copper sulfate(0.6%).Right now I have 4 Angels,8 barbs and 3 sowrdtails.What do you think?
