Bacterial infection in wrasse

[mmw64]

Can someone tell me how to treat a bacterial infection on a Melanarus Wrasse? Can the medication be soaked into food? What medication would I use? Thanks so much.

Food soaking helps with *internal* infections, but not so much external... Do you have any photos of the wrasse in question?

For an external bacterial infection I’d recommend the Trifecta (Metro+Kanaplex+Furan 2). Nitrofuracin green is another option but is hard on a biofilter so ammonia could become an issue. Either way you’ll need to treat in a QT. Can you post a pic?
