Hello
We have a recently bought a leopard wrasse, a young one, and put it into our QT together with two hi fin gobys that were bought at the same time. The wrasse did look a bit thin when we bought it, but we decided to risk it since it looked quite active. They have been in the QT for 6 days now. Everyone is eating well (both newly hatched brine shrimp as well as frozen food). We have a bowl of sand in the QT that is sleeps in.
But the wrasse has these episodes of strange swimming, on it's side close to the surface, fast breathing, laying down towards the bottom, pacing back and forth towards the back and getting stuck in the water intake to the sump. This has happen 3 times since we got it but most of the time it is swimming around searching for food and eating well.
At first, we tought it was flukes, so we did a freshwater dip, but nothing came off. Now we are at a loss, should we treat with Prazi anyway, or what could the issue be? The two gobys looks fine, no strange behavior from them so far.
Hard to get a good picture that is not blurry. But can try more if that's needed.
