Morning, I currently have a Coral beauty & Carpenter Wrasse in QT (10g) and I am slowly raising therapeutic level as there are signs or ick. This morning I have noticed the CB swimming odd as if he is drifting in the current and also a few "brown" stingy poop coming from him. Is there anything I should do here? Is he constipated? Internal parasites? Can or should i even mix medicine? Terribly uncertain as I have already failed in a few attempts to QT a wrasse and this guy seems to be doing good. Please help..
Thanks

This angel had white stringy poop when I first got him. Treated unsuccessfully with Metro and Prozi for about two months. Finally I gave up medicating and placed it into DT. Years later it is a healthy looking fish that eats well but still occasionally has a stringy poop.
