I have a yellow wrasse and a fairy wrasse that have been in quarantine for about a week. The quarantine tank is a 20L and was originally filled with water from my DT. I'm using a HOB that only has a sponge that was seeded for several months in my DT sump. Besides the normal PVC decorations I also have two containers with about 2-3 inches of sand so that the wrasses can bury themselves if they like. This tank was setup just to quarantine these two fish.
Water temp is 77, ammonia has stayed at 0, and I treated the tank with PraziPro on the second day. Since the afternoon on the second day the yellow wrasse has developed a fat lip for lack of a better term. His lip looks swollen and a little white. There are also two white looking spots on his dorsal fin. This past weekend I started a round of Maracyn 2 to either prevent or treat an infection. I'm currently on day 3 and have seen no improvement.
The yellow wrasse is spending about 50% of his time buried in the sand and the rest of his time is spent swimming around. He's interested in eating, and tries, but I think his lip situation is making it difficult/impossible to eat.
Fortunately the fairy wrasse looks great and is eating well, but I'm obviously concerned about him getting whatever the yellow one has.
Thoughts or ideas based on the description and the picture?
