Prazi and wrasse

[Neptune 555]

I have flame back Pygmy angel, fairy wrasse, starry blenny, and a tiny clown goby (he hides a ton I have not seen him eat) . All are in QT on day 3 I am getting ready to do TTM and am wondering about treating w prazi pro. I don't see signs of infection no flashing eating and no stringy poop in bare bottom tank. I have read that wrasses are the only fish very sensitive to prazi pro. If I didn't have the wrasse I would dose prazi on 2 and 4 TTM .

Suggestions?

Fish suffer from lack of O2 with PP. Add air stones to the Tank before adding PP

Agreed ^^^, also I have heard 50/50 reviews about using PP with wrasses, as they don't response well with it. I haven't had any problems using it with wrasses. I always do 2 rounds of PP, no matter what.

Can't say for certain but my McCoskers Flasher Wrasse didn't survive QT using PP. Just didn't seem right after adding. Did water change but he didn't make it. bummer. nice fish.

Some wrasse are a little harder to QT. Water quality on on 3rd day is usually not at its best and PP lowers oxygen. Compound that with fresh shipping and new eating/sleeping schedule. I usually TTM and prazi after a few weeks of monitoring.

I also had more luck doing water changes before dosing prazipro to make sure water is clean.
