Good Evening,
I wanted to document my first attempt at quarantining BLUE STAR LEOPARD WRASSES. Did days of research with direct communication with @Humblefish .
Ended up matching my salinity to what Live Aquaria told me on the phone which was 1.018-1.020. I set my 29 Gallon QT tank to 1.019. Ordered a total of (3) BLUE STAR LEOPARDS. They arrived @ 10:00 am with 10:30
Am cutoff time. All three appeared to be in very good shape upon arrival. I floated their bags for 20 minutes and put them straight into the tank.
They didn’t come out for the first two days. I loaded the tank up with Chaeto, apex tigger pods which I saw all 3 wrasses eating by day 4.
I fed live white worms, LRS Reef frenzy, fish eggs, Hikari Mysis Shrimp & numerous other foods.
Hikari Mysis Shrimp was the winner due to being smallest size mysis available. They started really eating it well.
I’m at day 7 today and have now done their first dose of Prazipro. Attached are a few photos and videos. They are finally adapting to my photoperiod as well.
Feel free to follow this journey. Will be dosing next Pazipro 7 days from no then moving onto slow raise of Copper Power from there!
