Hello everyone!

This is my first post on here and seeking some input.

I put my Scott’s Fairy Wrasse in the QT because of white stringy poo, color flashing (was pale blue/pink), always hiding/laying at the bottom, swimming without tail fin, and hunger suppression. Big list I know, so I suspect different issues. Parasites, flukes, spinal injury?

He’s been in QT for 6 days with Prazipro and about to do a 25% water change and second dose today. Metro soaked food and half dose into water for 2 days because he doesn’t really eat and is definitely not excited about meal time. He has/is not actively swimming. I saw some sesame seed looking things on the bottom of QT so I did a 5 min FW dip today after I learned about flukes.

Some fish do not like the taste of Metro in their food. Hiding the taste with garlic sometimes works. What kind of food are your offering?
 
Adding 1 tablespoon of plain USP epsom salts to each 5 gallons of tank water, will help the fish expell the dead worms.
