Wrasse and Hikari PraziPro

[Brian S]

Thanks for your time!

I've been quarantining a Hoeven's Wrasse (Melanurus Wrasse) along with a Royal Gramma. They have been doing great for ten days. Yesterday I treated the 10-gallon qt tank with 2.5 ml of PraziPro- about 2pm. When I left them last night at lights out at 10pm, things appeared good.

I came home from work tonight to find the wrasse stuck against the intake of my hob filter - a aquaclear 20. I did a 33% water change and started to run carbon.

15 minutes later, the wrasse is swimming again - eating as it did prior to the prazi.

Thoughts?
Next steps?

It's almost like the wrasse was sleeping. The wrasse usually sleeps in the tray of sand I included in the tank.

That’s odd. Mine also sleeps in the sand. And is tolerating copper currently

Not all wrasses do well in prazi. Try General cure. The prazi itself may be to strong for him/her

thanks for the replies. I'll check out General Cure.

+1. The powder praziquantel in GC is a slightly lesser dose than prazipro.

I just switched to it for the first time my last round of QT. Wrasse did fine.

He may have just been sleeping as well like you said. Wrasse are the craziest when it comes to that.
