I have a new sixline wrasse in barebottom QT and after a few days, began to show cloudy patches on his tail. Water parameters are good and I do a 15% water change every 2 days vacuuming off the bottom.
I know this fish has experienced stress. I tried to give him a freshwater bath and he was a jumper...2 times...into a cold sink with dirty dishes. He has some PVC pieces on the bottom of his tank he hides in. he's been eating lots of tiny mysids but very few pellets.
One thing I need to fix is the temp. It's a solid 25C, which I think is too low. Water is running at 1.023 (that could stand to go a little lower too)
Thoughts? Is this passing? Treat with higher temp and lower salinity?
