I've searched around and found people with the same prognoses on similar wrasses, but never a disease or treatment defined. I have a McCoskers flasher wrasse that's been in the DT for about a month. Was looking great until about 2-days ago when he started to act a little funny, but would snap out of it.
Today when I got home from work, he looked real bad, just check out the video. He will come out and swim like that, then just lay upside down on the sand. He made an attempt to eat at feeding time but didn't have the coordination to find but one or two pellets.
I checked all water parms tonight, everything is in line with where it normally is.
Amonia / Nitrite / Nitrate = 0
Phospate = <0.25
Ca = 440
KH = 8.5
Temp = 77
Salinity was just over 1.026, but I adjusted back down to 1.025.
Last water change was 5gal on Sat (I do one per week).
Everything else in tank looks OK.
Any ideas on what the poor guy has? Is it treatible? He isn't looking good, thinking about letting him go the peaceful way before he is snatched up tonight by a crab or shrimp. Sad to see my favorite fish in bad shape.
