What fish are copper sensitive fish?

I know corries, and I know that all scalless fish are...any others?

I added this to your other post, but thought would put it here too.

Have you considered getting a fish that eats snails prior to using medications which may harm the fish.

I know someone previsouly suggested loaches. Have you given this any thought, or are you going to go straight with the meds?

I like the idea of loaches. I should use them for my 55g if they are compatable with fish, I know very little of loaches. Khulis look very neet...

I have used the meds in my 21g. I have removed 100++ snails before the meds, I will remove the snails now as they die.... I have removed all decorations to facilitate cleaning.

How long to ensure all eggs are dead? This is very important...

Copper is poisonous to all aquatic lifeforms but some react worse to it than others, as a rule catfish, loaches and the majority of oddball fish react badly to copper based medications so care should be taken when treating tanks with these types of fish.
