Observation mode

3mm3 · Aug 14, 2018

Hello,
Have a tang and wrasse in observation currently.

After purchase from petco I immediately ran both through safety stop. From there they both went through TTM with transfers completed every 24 hrs. While completing TTM I also dosed metro and kanaplex .
I did not use prazipro because I was unsure how the wrasse would handle it.
Is there any other meds I should put them through during the remaining observation?

Thanks guys

I do personally treat all fish with praziquantel. Either through General Cure or Prazipro. Since you have already used metro I would go with prazipro. I have never experienced anything negative with Wrasse and praziquantel.

@HotRocks yeah I wasn't sure about the prazi I had thought I read somewhere is was iffy with them

Yeah I have also read that. I haven't had any problems with Wrasse and copper or prazi.

My problems of late are with bacterial infections.

@HotRocks would you go with the full recommended prazi dose?

I always use exactly per the instructions. General cure does contain a slightly lower dosage of praziquantel, but since you have already exposed the fish to metronidazole, I would not use GC since it contains both.

Make sure your aquarium is covered. If flukes are dislodging the Wrasse will tend to dart heavily.

Wrasse and tang where dosed with prazipro at recommended dose Wednesday. Zero problems. Didn't even loose appetite.
Thank you
