Ph8's 225 build

[Mike&Terry]

Had a scare last night. The fish in QT have been really well so I decided it was time to do a prazi treatment. I go in to check the tank about an hour later and the Mitratus is breathing really hard and looking stressed. The wrasses seemed to be fine. This is the first time I have ever had a fish react prazi this way. I added an air pump and some fresh carbon and he seemed better this morning, I'll report back after work, hopefully he'll be fine.

I had the same thing happen to my Johnsoni's and after 3 attempts to treat prophylactically, I gave up. Thankfully, they never showed any signs of worms or flukes during their 4 month stay in the QT.

This is only my 3rd AZ summer and 1st with the reef set up! It will be interesting. Need to pick up some fans and very likely a chiller.

Really sorry to hear about the fish in QT. Keep us posted and best of luck.

It's weird, most fish don't even seem to notice it. I'm not gonna try it again unless he gives me a reason to. I can't wait to get home to make sure he's alright though.

Thanks Zibba, IME you'll be fine with just fans. I used a chiller for years and to be honest I'm happier without it, it just produced a ton heat and heated up the whole room.

That's crazy. Glad to hear he's doing better though. He just just be sensitive :)

Thanks Chrissie, I guess you never know which ones will be sensitive. By his personality you would never guess it, he's really a bold fish.

Thanks Marvin, still doing great. He doesn't show any symptoms of flukes or anything else so Im just gonna keep an eye on him for a few more weeks and skip the prazipro for now.

Sad day, beautiful C. Johnsoni showed up DOA. It's always the pretty males that don't ship well.

That's rough they are a great fish. Hopefully you will have another opportunity to get one.
