Is something wrong with my wrasse? :(

Praziquantel is the preferred treatment for flukes. Again, I am totally skeptical of the treatment offered. There are lots of similar treatments that purport to treat "everything" but none have credibility. Remember, this is the LFS that sold a fish with ich, so their credibility is a bit uncertain at this point. Last posting from me, I have no desire to argue the merits or lack thereof, of homeopathic type treatments that supposedly "raise the immune system". That is not a measurable claim. But if it works for you, go for it. Still, Danny, as you are VERY new to this hobby, you might be more receptive to advice. Alternatively, you can make your own mistakes and learn that way.

ok so number one i did not sell my own gf a fish with ich, if you would read you would understand what is going on. The OP said her self that the fish just recently obtained ich, but its ok some of us do not like to read and just like to talk. it has worked for me and the store.

Ich doesn't just magically appear out of no where.

no it does not, she has had the fish for a month, it currently came up with ich, we had the fish for roughly 4 weeks before she purchased the fish. Also ich is really common in aquariums, there is not a fish that does not come in contact with this protozoan, Its the stress levels of the fish that drop his or her imune system witch allows the diseas to take over the fish. Best way to keep ich out is qt tank, making sure all water parameters are good as well as temperature and so on so the fish does not stress and lets the diseas take over. There is not a single aquarium that does not have this protozoan present.

to the OP keep up with your water changes, keep up the treatment, dont worrie about raisin the temperature because that makes no difference in marine ich. Make sure he is eating and keep a close eye on him see what stresses him out you should be fine.
