I've googled a few of these but it seems there's some mixed opinions and/or lack of clarity on the issue, but I had a fish die (Solon/Red headed Fairy Wrasse) yesterday a day after my third transfer in TTM.
On the second transfer I dosed prazi.
Fish seemed to be eating very well (frozen hikari/PE mysis) during the 1st 3 days and up to the 2nd transfer...until after prazi, which I dosed on the 2nd day of the 2nd transfer. (Following?)
He didn't eat when I tried to feed him before the third transfer, but otherwise seemed okay when moving him.
I'm pretty confident my salinity and temp on the 3rd transfer was consistent, and all equipment (air stone/heater) we're working appropriately. Came home from work less than 24 hours after moving it and found it dead, probably dead for hours by the looks of it. No ich, no velvet, no other notable outward signs, except his color had faded.
Is prazi something I should avoid in the future for wrasses, and what would be a good alternative if so to use during TTM?
My LFS doesn't do refunds...so I'm thinking no more $60 fish if they're not easy to get through QT.
