Leopard wrasse - Prazipro or API General Cure?

[Pete Paschall]

I currently have one female leopard wrasse in my display, and she is doing well. I did not treat the wrasse originally (she seemed fine and has always eaten well), but after researching I now know that treating for intestinal issues is advised due to their tendency to carry stuff with them. I was thinking of treating the display with Prazipro, just in case there is something latent that hasn't shown itself yet. Would it be worth treating with General Cure instead? Or maybe even a Prazipro treatment followed by using General Cure with Focus as a food additive afterwards? Thanks!

I would just treat with GC+Focus for 10-14 days. You could also add treatment with General Cure in the water column for external parasites (flukes). Prazipro is fine but because it's dissolved in an organic (alcohol) it can cause a bacterial bloom which can decrease oxygen concentrations. This can potentially be disastrous in a QT tank. The dosing with Prazipro is also a little more aggressive which can occasionally be problematic.

Thank you!

Once in the the dt if everyone is eating, I've had good results with metro/focus mixed in the food.
