Our 6 line Wrasse has what looks like a wound - he's acting normally. He has a good appetite and is darting in and out of the rockwork as usual. Photos are blurry because he's swimming around as usual.
We recently had two clownfish die very suddenly. So we are concerned something is wrong. The clownfish were small and the one we found didn't have any visible spots or anything but it had been dead long enough for a snail to be eating it. They too had been acting normally the night before. We never found the second clown - they were small and it may well have been consumed by the time we found them.
Our system is 125 gallons
SG 1.025
Nitrates 16
Calcium 430
Temp 78
The system has been stable for a few months. We had an outbreak in October of velvet. The tank was fallow for 2 months. This Wrasse was one of the original fish we had. He survived the upgrade from 90 gallon to 125 (that led to the tank crash), two months in quarantine which included copper treatment and has appeared to thrive since being returned to our main system.
It does not look like velvet - he's not hiding at all, his appetite and behavior are normal. We're feeding a combo of frozen food with metroplex (after clowns died suddenly we added metroplex back) and some powdered food from Blue Zoo. He eats well even now.
He's way too energetic to get out of the system. When we put him in quarantine in October we literally had to shine flashlights on the live rock to find him - he hid in a hole. We do have a hospital tank we can set back up but don't want to stress all the fish out trying to get him.
We haven't added a new fish to the system for over a month.
Would welcome any advice.
