Diamond Tail Flasher

I've had a couple go through QT great but not able to adjust to life in a tank full of wrasses. Very skiddish fish for me, once spooked they don't seem to recover from it.
 
I did originally, but haven't ordered one in this batch.
I'm going out of town soon and don't want to put a new wrasse in qt while gone. I have 4 in there now that are all doing great and won't be putting them in my DT till I can comeback and observe in the acc box first.
So I'll have to pass for now.
 
Oh ok - thought I'd mention it...... I grabbed one- does anyone have any experience putting these guys thru a round of cupramine?
 
Thx. I appreciate it.
Congrats.
I'm not a fan of cupramine or copper for wrasses.
Def prazipro though
 
Well happy to report that first round of prazi is going very well. He didn't miss a beat when I introduced prazi. Is even out and about more often so much that when I approach the tank he no longer dives into pvc.

Will probably do another round after a week or so Without it.
 
I did tank transfer followed by 5 weeks in a cycled QT and did 2 rounds of Prazipro while in the cycled tank.

Thx. I appreciate it.

I decided to try cupramine. The wrasse is in a 30 gal QT. I started with a very low first dose. I put 10 drops in. He immediately went to hide behind a PVC pipe and started breathing heavy. So, 33% WC and some carbon later, I will be trying hyposalinity.
 
Yea I have had the same experience before, so now only treat with prazi and observe...haven't had any problems as of yet....good luck with the labouti.
