  Basic Copper Sulphate is a transparent dark blue crystal or powder, soluble in water, and its solution is weakly acidic. It is a commonly used medicine in fish disease prevention and treatment. It can treat fish's protoparasitic diseases, such as ectoparasitic flagellates, ciliates, flukes, and Chinese fish fleas. Since copper sulfate is a heavy metal salt, the following points should be noted during its use:

  1. The ability of copper sulfate to kill pathogens varies with the changes in the water environment. Generally speaking, its toxicity increases with the increase of temperature, and decreases with the increase of pH, the increase of organic matter and the presence of salt. Therefore, the dosage should be flexibly controlled according to the specific conditions of the water environment.
  2. The safe concentration range of copper sulfate is small. In general use, the copper sulfate with a concentration of 0.5 ppm to 0.7 ppm is poured into the whole pool or the copper sulfate with a concentration of 8 ppm is immersed in a bath for 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure the volume of aquaculture water and calculate the amount of medicine used when using it.
  3. Excessive copper sulfate can cause necrosis of fish kidney tissue, destruction of hematopoietic tissue, and increase of liver fat. At the same time, it may remain in the gills, muscles and liver of fish, hindering intestinal absorption, thereby affecting the feeding and growth of fish , So it can’t be used often.
  4. Copper sulfate is often mixed with ferrous sulfate at a ratio of 5:2. Ferrous sulfate is mainly used to eliminate fixation and remove obstacles for copper sulfate to kill parasites. Especially the Chinese fish flea parasitic disease, the end of the gill filaments of the diseased fish is swollen and white, and the mucus increases greatly. If copper sulfate is used alone, the effect is not obvious, and it must be mixed with ferrous sulfate. Note that the use concentration of ferrous sulfate is the same as copper sulfate.
  5. The temperature of the water for dissolving copper sulfate should not exceed 60°C, otherwise the liquid medicine will easily fail.
  6. Copper Chloride Dihydrate ManufacturersCopper Sulfate is not effective against melon worm disease. Because the small melon worm forms a sac on the surface of the fish body, it is not easy to be killed by copper sulfate, and it will cause a large number of fish deaths after use.
