Leopard wrasse question

[CoralClasher]

Vitamin deficiency associated with diet can be a contributor to cloudy eye. The most common cause of cloudy eyes in aquarium fish seems to be poor water quality, a drop in pH level when it drops too low, heavy feeding , and bacteria issues developing in the tank. Try lowering your temp a little and feed less, check all water parameters, and do water change.
Add vitamins and/or garlic extract to its' food and monitor.
If it does not improve in 48 hours, try PraziPro. Should help

Thanks his eye is looking better not completely healed. I did use the Epsom salts and good food with vitamins, five or six tank transfers and seven days of copper. I'm just a little worried about the fins now.

Not even a full day of the leopards in DT and I'm hooked!! I'll be moving to the wrasse lovers thread. Any suggestions on more wrasses that would be a nice addition to the leopards?

The females are doing great. Actually put them in DT last night. The male is still in QT and will start E.M today. I might be giving away a powder brown tang and a splendid dotty back that aren't playing nice this morning.

I think you got all females, two meleagris and a negrosensis. There was no males pictured o the first page of this thread.

I still have lots to learn thanks.

idk if this is the video you're referencing, but that's not what he said here


he just says that tank is filled with cirrhilabrus and paracheilinus wrasses, neither of which burrow in the sand

My apologies, I must have the wrong video though I’m pretty sure it was one by reef builders. I’m not necessarily taking a position I just thought it was worth mentioning for discussion.

Well I got two more leopards last week from LFS. When I got them home I matched the salinity to the bag and floated them for twenty minutes then released. One of them didn't make through the night. So I went back to LFS with a dead fish and sample water he said my salinity was too low. When I said I matched the bag he said yeah we have had problems with new help not checking salinity. No refund just offered ten bucks of another leopard from same tank. I said ok if I can see it eat. None of the fish in that tank eat frozen food. I still have one in QT that won't eat frozen food and it's getting old feeding her pods from my refugium. My question is should I just put her in DT without seeing eat? Looks healthy and I have done the tank transfer method.

So how did the Leopards tolerate treatment? Are they still with us. These are delicate fish and likely not do well with complications like this.

So I haven't see the little black one since I put her in DT about three weeks now.

Any tricks for getting leopards to eat frozen food? I have mysis, brine, rods fish food and my homemade blend. Garlic makes her look frantically for food but will not touch the frozen food.

You could try feeding live brine shrimp with frozen brine in high flow. That would let you treat for possible internal parasites
