My wrasse is looking bad and not swimming properly, covered in white spots but I don’t think it’s Ich, maybe Velvet? I need options for treatment. Thanks IMG_2590.jpeg
Any advice or suggestions on how to proceed, I have already started a QT, hopefully it is not too late for him.

Thanks for looking:rolleyes::thinking-face::smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

I’d say your wrasse is past the point of looking bad.

Thanks for your opinion. I think you are right about this fishes situation. He jumped last year when I was working in the tank and later I started wondering where he was.

Yup. He found a nice hiding place behind the tank and much later I found him with the white spot issue so I took a picture and waited for the right time to post.

Did you qt? What are the params of your carpet?
This guy landed on the dusty vinyl, but the carpet parameters are always within a few dKH of the tank, last time I checked. :smiling-face-with-sunglasses: :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
I spill some water every time I do a water change, so I don’t have to measure it.

The best solution to this is to fill a pan with some oil, start up a fryer and grab some bread crumbs. Should be in perfect condition in about five minutes!
Should the oil be deep enough for the fish to swim in?:thinking-face:

My connecting flight home was cancelled, so I’m not going to be able to get to this until later.

Evil SPIRIT, never again.
