Can I treat a lawnmower blenny with copper?

[b3noodles]

I was wondering since my blue has Ick (I think) I am going to take all my fish out and treat with copper. I am unsure if this will hurt the lm blenny. Please advice as I am setting up a qt either later tonight or tommorow morning. Thanks all!! Sue

The lawnmower is a scaleless fish and copper is not the most recommended, definately not ionic copper. You may have a decent amount of luck with Seachems Cupramine but that is the only one I'd suggest. The best treatment for scaless fish is hyposalinity.

Cheers
