I got this wrasse yesterday after half a year finding it at many fish stores. Brought it home and acclimated for 1.5hour, then put it in an acclimation box. It went right under the sand. Today i got home and notice the round, bluffing belly and shes been swimming in the round motion and floating on the surface. Im planning to move her in the qt I just setup but first time got this issue so I dont know how to treat this. Really need help from expert cause it extremely rare to get one here at my place.
