I just received a very healthy looking shipment of wrasses that I put in QT yesterday. A Ruby Longfin Fairy, Pintail, and Female Leopard Wrasse. The Longfin and Pintail ate within 2 hours of being added after acclimation. The Leopard Wrasse (no surprise) hasn’t really taken to food yet, although she did chomp a pellet that she spit out so I think that’s a good sign. They are all a good weight to start with at least, so I think that helps, should have some time to try a few different foods and get her eating,
I put a fairly large Tupperware container with about 3” of sand in it in to the QT for the leopard wrasse, but she hasn’t found it yet this evening and is sleeping by the PVC pipes instead...
1. Any tips on getting her to eat? I’ve tried frozen brine, frozen mysis, and a pellet food from NYOS (the one she spit out).
2. Will she eventually find the sand in the container to sleep in? I don’t want that to cause undue stress.
Thanks for all of your help! This is my first time with a leopard wrasse in QT. Had great success in the past with an ornate leopard, but that was when I was not QTing any fish and she went right into the display.
