The Kenya needs a different (less?) flow I think, it’s not very strong at this stage because it’s trunk is really skinny.

WOW! How is the tailspot?

He’s started to move a little bit and check out the tank.

Both are a lot more shook up than my clowns. The clowns were doing backflips at this point in qt.

Since tailspots don’t have scales and wrasses don’t qt well, I’m going to bring up copper levels very very slowly. The tank is at 50% levels of what I normally run.

Put your tailspot in the tank. Most don't survive qt.

Can’t do that.

Or through desert goggles.

Can’t do that.

Can you just qt without meds? Observation only?

My lfs, who is a very active qt writer on here, keeps her tailspots just fine in medicated tanks.

This one however did not come from that lfs as the one I had my eye on was purchased. I'm confident that he'll be fine for a month if I just very slowly raise levels. You have to do that for wrasses any ways.

 

[Why-Me]

Is CP too risky for that wrasse?
I know some tolerate it some don't. just don't remember which ones.

 

[Katrina71]

I hope they both do well!

Most don't but once again, it's all about slowly easing them into it from what I've read.

Get him a cleaner shrimp!

 

[living_tribunal]

I'm sure they will, lots of hobbyists proactively qt wrasses and tailspots. I'm not going to have at therapeutic levels for another 15 days which is more than enough time for them to adjust.

If cleaner shrimp were proven to eat ich I think we'd all have one by now!

wait, that’s not proven? Because with my hand on a stack of bibles I will swear that mine did. I just assumed it was a thing.

 

[living_tribunal]

I'm kind of even more uptight about qt now, if anything ever happened to my clowns I'd be beside myself.

They get more excited to see me than my dog does sometimes and love to get pet when I feed them. They are also VERY VERY close to each other. They are never more than an inch or two apart, always snuggling.
