Sorry - the lights are too blue and the fish too far away to really see anything.
Ah apologies. If you crank your computers brightness up it may work. But very odd behaviors in the tank. I guess I'm lucky I dosed prazi. Gotta pray it's curable.

Sorry - I still couldn't see anything of note in the video, just the aggression. Sometimes, using a strong white flashlight into the tank will overcome the blue cast and make the videos more viewable. In other tanks, the lights can be adjusted to be less blue.

Will do. Can illness cause increased aggression? This has never happened before.

No - the opposite is generally true, illness causes fish to become lethargic and less aggressive. I suppose, in a rare instance where only one fish is affected by disease, it could become weakened, and other fish could then begin picking on it....

Interesting. Is it a possibility this is caused by aggression. Even though my wrasse is still eating and being harassed? Does the aggressor ever become stressed?

I've never really seen an aggressor become stressed from that activity -- if something stresses a fish severely, the behavior changes; they stop feeding, become lethargic and regular activity changes.

I didn't think so.. my wrasse doesn't really seem to care. He's eating normally and everything. I don't understand what is wrong with my Gramma. I'll have to get home today and see if she's alive.

Got home today. She ate. Was it flukes or was it just a weird behavior?

Sorry, I'm not sure. Prazi kills flukes, but it usually takes a few days for the fish to overcome the initial infection.
