Does this look normal? Pink Spotted Watchman Goby in quarantine:
Thanks,

Nope looks like internal parasites to me. API general cure is my go to for this.

Thanks. I'm doing tank transfer method with 3 fish right now. I don't have General Cure, but I do have PraziPro. I also just did a hydrogen peroxide bath - and during that bath is when it had that poop. Maybe the peroxide helped?
Also, I don't know if PraziPro or General Cure can be combined with Prime? I plan to use Prime in a day or two. Thanks,

I thought it might get some laughs.

Don't think I would have done a H2O2 bath. Just me.
General cure has prazi and metro in it. Some parasites are resistant to one or the other, but not both. General cure can be had just about anywhere pet supplies are sold.
How's it's breathing after the bath? Prime can be used with GC or prazi.

Fast breathing after the bath for the Exquisite Wrasse, but he has Ich too. The others seemed okay.
I'm using Humblefish's guide for TTM with Peroxide baths before 2 of the transfers. Sounds like he's had great success with it. Check out his sticky. It's my first time with Peroxide, but I've done TTM successfully in the past. Thanks,

It's still considered experimental and can be very hard on some species of fish, possibly wrasses as they are known to be delicate. It's only used as a temporary relief, not a cure.
As a side note, I know your doing a TTM, but GC and CP can be used at the same time for ich, velvet.

Very informative post! I love this about R2R! Always something to learn. I had no idea parasites could be diagnosed by fish doodies.

My new wrasses always get GC. They are most ways carrying internals when they arrive.

Thanks. I might try GC while doing TTM. But I don't know if it (and Methylene Blue for that matter) can be used with Prime? And maybe with my last peroxide bath?
CP = Chloroquine Phosphate? I haven't looked into using it yet.
And yeah, it is experimental, but it sounds like he's done it successfully on a lot of fish, including wrasses. He's claiming that it's killing / causing parasites to drop off though, not just temporary relief.
Good to know. Sounds like it would be a good idea to use GC here.
