No Disease ... Yet ... But Concerned With New Quoyi Parrotfish

[Maritimer]

Thank you, Buzzword.

Words to treasure . . .

~Bruce, probably more amused than he should be that there's a toy fish in a plastic castle being marketed to little girls as "Princess Parrotfish" . . .

Hi Bruce and others who had Quoyi in 2017/ 18, are the fishes still alive?

During the QT, did you do a daily water change?

Hi, Amit!

Water changes were done - though not daily.
This particular fish never ate while in my care, and eventually succumbed.

I did try again with another quoyi, which seemed healthy when it went into my display tank - but then declined and died, without obvious cause.

At this time, I've no plans to try again with Quoy's parrotfish.

Thanks for sharing!

Any tips to get them to eat in QT? What disease to watch out in Quoyi

So mine was from a Lfs I trust and I didn’t qt it, feed a mix of mysis and nori. But he ate about anything I put in the tank. Also scratched the heck out of one corner where he would peck at it and swim crazy up aginst the glass.
