Leopard Wrasse

[therealkilo]

I ordered one from SWF.com. It is in my quarantine tank. Reason for the post is, a lot of people talk about de-worming them? Are worms really that common ?

Fish looks fine. Also in the QT from same order is red dragonet and shrimp goby...

Thoughts?

Umm... just found this.

Half the people skip QT with leopards?

Internal worms are definitely a potential problem. I've had a few that were eating still waste away. I QT mine, along with any other potential acclimation/feeding fish, in my coral/invert QT tank.

I made sure my QT was cycled and I actually put some live sand from my DT into a tubberware bowl for them to burrow. It took awhile to get them eating and after that I dose Prazi-Pro. Haven't had any issues with them.

Definitely put sand in your QT. I did TTM, freshwater dips, formalin dips, prazipro and antibiotics (had some type of fungal happening). About 7 weeks in QT and he did great. Not everyone has had such success with QT tho.

This is what I did with my trio. I started with frozen mysis and then pellets. One of the trio turned in to a male where they been in DT for last 3 months

Definitely agree with adding sand. It's possible they stay hidden for days at a time, especially at first. But if you don't have the sand your chances of success in QT go way down. I would feed medicated foods to ensure there are no internal parasites.
