I'm sorry I misunderstood. I thought the CT was one of the ones bloated, too.

Copper essentially is the treatment for two primary parasites: Marine Ich and Marine Velvet. I think by now you'd see if the fish had Marine Ich. Marine Velvet, without treatment, usually kills the fish in a few days. Unless you think the fish has either or both of these, the copper isn't going to do anything but spend time.

If you really believe there is a gill parasite (I'm not convinced of this), then the use of a medication with organophosphate can be used. This chemical is found in Clout and another medication Fluke-Tabs. As the one name implies, it fights off flukes and larger parasites infecting fish.
