Chemicals

Is melafix or coppersafe bad for treefrogs? I have a small pond section with a goldfish in it, and the goldfish got anchor worms. (Ew?) I was told that the coppersafe is needed to clear any remaining worms out of the tank, and the melafix will help him to heal. I don't want to risk harming the frog with the chemicals though because I know how delicate their skin is. Could someone help me?

Thanks,

-North

If you have to ask, then it is probably not a good idea. Not only should the treefrogs not be in the same container period, but they should definitely be removed during the treatment. By the way, I recommend Life Bearer, by Aquarium Products for anchor worms.
