Quick help on a pintail fairy wrasse!

[Erick Armanii]

Looking like everything was going great for over the past 6-7 weeks. I had a Midas blenny, pintail fairy wrasse and a Lubbock wrasse all doing pretty well in QT. I noticed some stringy white poop and feed focus and metro about 2 weeks ago.

During that time my Lubbock was getting picked on by both the Midas and the pintail so I moved the Lubbock to a separate QT tank (small 5 gal)

this past week I noticed the Midas chasing after the pintail and eventually forcing him to stay in the corner of the tank.

Monday April 13th I moved the Midas into my display tank and have both wrasses in separate tanks.

I haven’t seen the pintail much after Monday noticed him hiding and assumed it’s because he was lonesome. Just now I was doing a small water change and noticed him laying on his side struggling.

Cant tell if the internal parasite is back or something worse!

I added an air stone, a dose of metro and kanaplex to the water..

How's the wrasse's breathing?

Did you treat it at all for internal parasites? Like general cure or prazi?

Unfortunately he didn’t make it..
I had him in QT for almost 6 weeks and feed him metro and focus when I saw signs of white stringy poop early on during QT..

I did not use general cure or prazi and kick myself for not having any on hand as I feel both prazi and a good combination like metro+focus would have completely eliminated the problem..
