This wrasse has been in the store 3 or 4 weeks. It's been run through something for flukes and is living in a subtheraputic copper system (uses Cupramine).
He has a head twitch for sure, but appears to be eating and does swim normally and flash at tank mates.
He is the healthier of specimens I have seen locally over the past few weeks.
If I got him, I would do general cure, then coppersafe (unless CP was better but thought for wrasses better to try the copper.) for 30 days, followed by observation for a couple weeks. Same as I would for any fish...
What has me more concerned than the head twitch is this circling he does. I don't know if it's related to whatever is making him twice his head, or something else..
So thought?
