I bought a beautiful lineatus wrasse, one of my dream fish, fully quarantined and had the highest hopes. Sadly, he arrived with a small injury (I assume happened in shipping) but was doing well for a few days. Not eating a ton, but was eating and active, a little skinny. The spot grew and turned into a bacterial infection and in 5 days, he was dead. Seller has been great and has offered to send another or give me store credit.
Now I’m stuck. I’m not sure what the success rate with this fish is. I have a very peaceful tank, no one bullied him or anything, I slowly acclimated to the tanks temp and salinity. I feed 3-4x per day. But clearly these are fragile fish, I know many wrasses are. But I just wanted to get some thoughts, experiences, success rates, etc to help me determine how to proceed. Thanks in advance. Very sad to lose him.
