Seachem Cupramine™ – Advanced Copper Treatment for Ectoparasites

Seachem Cupramine™ is a highly effective and safer copper-based treatment designed to eradicate a wide range of external parasites in both freshwater and marine fish. Unlike traditional copper sulfate, chloride, or citrate treatments, Cupramine™ remains in solution, is non-acidic, and does not contaminate filter beds, making it a superior choice for parasite control.


Key Benefits

Treats a Wide Range of Ectoparasites – Eliminates Oodinium, Cryptocaryon, Amyloodinium, Ichthyophthirius (Ich), and more
Superior to Other Copper TreatmentsLess toxic, non-acidic, and more stable than sulfate, chloride, or citrate alternatives
Fully Ionic & Active at Low Concentrations – Works effectively at just 0.2 mg/L
Large Safety MarginTherapeutic dose (0.2 mg/L) is far below toxic levels (0.8 mg/L)
Easily Removable – Can be completely eliminated using activated carbon or CupriSorb™
Safe for Both Freshwater & Marine Aquariums – Designed for broad-spectrum use


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
🔹 Oodinium (Freshwater Velvet) – Leads to golden-brown dust, rapid gill movement, and flashing behavior
🔹 Other External Protozoan Parasites – Treats a variety of ectoparasitic infections that cause clamped fins, lesions, and loss of appetite

💡 Tip: Since many infections share similar symptoms, always accurately diagnose before treatment.

2️⃣ Gradual Introduction – Introduce Cupramine™ slowly to prevent fish stress.
3️⃣ Monitor Copper Levels – Use a copper test kit to maintain safe therapeutic levels.
