Currently dealing with a bit of an ich outbreak and figured I’d dose Polyplab Medic on my approximately 100 gal water volume tank (including sump) to knock it down while I install a UV sterilizer for continuous management. Did my first 4 scoop dose last night and come down to find the dusky wrasse I added a week and half ago (has been in the sand since) swimming like it’s in duress and my 4 spot wrasse that’s normally out nowhere to be found. The dusky was just swimming back and forth along the glass, not paying attention to food, fins are a bit tattered, has a piece of white poop hanging and appears to have a scrape on one side. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen it since it came in so I have no idea how long any of this has been on it.
I did give the dusky a freshwater dip to hopefully give some reprieve and it seemed to work for now. Don’t have a QT so unfortunately had to go back into the tank.
My LFS did mention cleaner wrasses have issues when they dose medic but didn’t mention others. Anyone else have issues dosing medic with wrasses or have information showing this? Also, I have api erythromycin and chemiclean on hand if you think that could/should be dosed to the tank at the same time. All other fish, corals and inverts seem fine.
