Hello all!
I have 3 fish in a qt, a rhomboid wrasse, a leopard wrasse, and a flame wrasse. All have been in qt coming up on 4 weeks now. About 5 years ago we lost all of our fish to velvet that came in on a tang and we left the hobby for a bit over it. We always believed that well fed fish could overcome anything, nope! Fast forward to now, well quite a few months now, we are being very proactive with qt.
Anyways, these fish have all had their Prazi treatments and all reacted well to it, the flame got a few spots on his head that my wife assumed was a reaction to prazi, we don't know. She spends literally hours staring at these fish everyday, so she can see if something is off. One minute she thinks they are prazi resistant flukes, then the next she thinks it's ich, then prazi resistant flukes again and so on.
We are a little reluctant to treat with copper but not so much TTM so we will probably treat with that if need be. My question is, and this is because according to my wife, some wrasses don't show ich spots. Is this true? I would like to not have to treat for ich if no need but definitely will if it is needed. I haven't seen any spots but she says she sees them(why I think she is crazy) but only the flame wrasse is flashing off the rocks here and there. I did see the leopard flash once off the sand but I think that is because she kicks the sand up to find food.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Justin
