Definitely!

I'm in the process of lowering my salinity to 1.018 (which is liveaquaira's salinity) and added a container with 2 to 3 inches of sand.

Which species of leopard? If the most common, meleagris, groups of females often don't get along so be prepared for that.
 
What leopards u getting? It's good to add them all together. Quarantine and deworming is always a good idea with those.

Sadly there was a mistake on either ups or liveaquaria and my leopard wrasses never came. I'll update as I get more info
 
I got the leopard wrasse. Ups failed to deliver and they were in the bag for 3 days until it arrived. :( As you can guess, they were doa. It angers me how 3 beautiful fish died because someone was careless.

Liveaquaria apologized and I'm going to receive a new batch on wednesday.

Wow that's awful...so sorry.....I ordered 3 total and two lived. One was doa.
 
So, a useful tip .... I never order fish for a Friday or Saturday delivery. If anything goes wrong, they sit in the box for the weekend. That almost never works out well. DD/LA will always accommodate such a request. Most UPS overnight goes through Louisville. Bad weather can screw things up quite easily.
 
Sorry to hear about the botched delivery... :(

Just know that these fish are very delicate and sometimes don't ship well even when they arrive on-time.

You will definitely want sand in the QT as you had mentioned.

I keep, potters, meleagris, moyeri, ornate, bluestar. They are tricky to get through QT. Live foods are a must have upon arrival IMO. Also start them very soon on food soaked GC/Metro + Focus. All of mine have gone through copper and prazi as well.

I know a well aerated 5 minute fresh water bath will knock back flukes and other parasites temporarily. Gives most fish some easy temporary relief. Also a verification of if they have flukes. Tiny seed like flukes left over in the fresh water.

Is it beneficial with these delicate fish or more trouble than it's worth?

Thanks!

How did the new batch turn out?

The new wrasses were delivered but my dad had to put them in qt. I am a student so I was at school and wasn't there to see what happened. There was one doa but the other two are ok. My dad said the moment they were released, they swam into the sand. Only caught a few glimpses of them before they got spooked and go back into the sand.
I'm not to worried about them starving just yet because I seeded my qt with many pods before their arrival.
