Here's a question for the most experienced . . . .
My LFS always tells me not to put their water in with mine when I bring home a new fish due to the fact that they use copper in their water.
Now, I know that copper will kill my crab, but let say you had a FISH ONLY tank - what could be the implications then? I am assuming bacteria and disease?
Secondly, If I have a FISH ONLY tank, why would I not add amounts of copper to the water to help prevent disease? If they (LFS) do it - why can't I?
Discuss . . .
Thanks.
