Indications – What Cupramine™ Treats

🔹 Marine Velvet Disease (Amyloodinium) – Affects saltwater fish with rapid breathing, lethargy, and fine yellow or rust-colored dust
🔹 Marine Ich (Cryptocaryon) – Causes white spots, scratching, rapid breathing, and lethargy in saltwater fish
🔹 Freshwater Ich (Ichthyophthirius) – White cysts, erratic swimming, and rubbing against objects in freshwater fish
