Hi I’m new to this forum. Well new to posting at least.
Anyway I received this juvenile dusky wrasse (2.5 inches) from liveaquaria today. I noticed it was extremely stressed and in very rough physical shape. Looked bruised and bit on the body, breathing heavy, wanting to jump out of the bag, floating upside down. Seemed like a goner.
I gave it a bath in methylene blue following the instructions recommended by @humble.fish for 25 minutes. Seemed a lot better. Carefully put it into a tank and seemed off, anyway an hour later it’s acting perfectly fine swimming and picking at the rocks.
However I noticed it’s bottom mouth is pretty much missing and it’s upper looks rough. It picks at the rocks because I have tons of pods but not sure it can catch them with the mouth like that.
Question is can the mouth heal?
