I am looking for the best qt method for a rhomboid. I have 4 fish in my tank so far and none were quarantined by me.

I now know this was foolishness but with the amount I was learning I did not see the value like I do now.
It appears that wrasse in general seem to be more picky about quarantine than others. Upon my research on the golden wrasse it seems this one can be even more so.
what are the main concerns to watch for? Are we treating copper for itch? Prazi for internal? I plan on just housing it in a 10g at first and monitoring but want to do what’s best for its long term survival.

everyone seems happy in the DT, is it too late?

I have tried to find good answers for wrasse and “rhomboid “ in particular but it seems to be all over the place.
Suggestions greatly appreciated!

I’ve done the following with all my wrasses including the rhomboid. The key is measuring copper precisely with the hanna checker.
