Yes, you can feed metro soaked food whilst also treating with copper (Cupramine). However, I would personally food soak API General Cure because that medication contains both praziquantel (dewormer) and metronidazole (internal flagellates). White stringy poop can be a symptom of either malady.

Using a shot glass:

1 scoop (~ 1/8 teaspoon) of medication

1 scoop Seachem Focus (this makes it reef safe)

1 tbsp food (preferably pellets or frozen food)

A pinch of Epsom salt to help expel dead worms/parasites

A few drops of saltwater or fish vitamins

Stir until a medicated food slurry has been achieved

Feed after soaking for 30 mins

Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers for future use

3 weeks or until you see the fish poop normally again. Whichever comes first. 😉

Curious how are they all acting?  Good/ bad?  Eating?  Is Mr. Stringy Poops acting any different than the others?
