Melanarus wrasse in QT no meds at this point. Been in qt for 2 weeks with mandarin goby. Goby is fine. Wrasse Was fine last night, noticed him swimming weird this morning but had to go to work. Got home, tested levels NO3 25, PH 8.3, sal 1.024, temp 76.5. I know the no3 is a little high but not enough to harm. No spots or any signs of disease. Help!

I suppose it couldnt hurt. I'll try that before giving up. I have metro&focus, but the lights are off and the wifes asleep in the room with the tank so I dont wanna make a big commotion trying to feed him
