Wrasses are extremely sensitive to copper, I’ve yet to know anyone who manages to get them through a copper treatment completely unharmed.Woah I didn't know this was a bucket list fish for anyone.
I got mine not knowing how big they get, it's been in my QT tank since august. I am finally starting meds this week. Its been a good fish so far, i have not had a single wrasse make it through copper so I am scared.
If it has been healthy in your QT tank for 4 months what is your reasoning for copper? Treat with prazi and move him along.Woah I didn't know this was a bucket list fish for anyone.

As long as you don’t plan to add any other wrasses, you should be alright. Once the wrasse grows (and they aren’t slow) your gramma may be at risk of being bullied. Most small species will likely be at risk of this wrasse and it’s aggression.5’x2’x2’ with full 3” sand bed Lots of Rock
