I have had a tailspot wrasse for many months, and he has recently started to flash against the rocks (and sometimes the sand), and do a lot of double-over moves (bending head to tail). What confounds me is that he was in a QT for a month using PraziPro first, and then Coppersafe at therapeutic levels. (He might even have been in there when I was using API Erythromycin to treat other fish.) The point is that he should have been clean as a whistle when he went into the DT. Well, after about 3 weeks in the DT I noticed the flashing, which became increasingly more frequent. Fearing the other fish would inherit whatever the problem is, I had that “Oh, No!” moment and decided to plunk-down $40 and treat the entire 90-gallon DT with API General Cure. I am well into the second dose (the ‘after 48 hour’ dose) and the wrasse swims actively and eats—but still flashes. All other fish seem fine— including a puffer, tang, dwarf angel, and filefish.
Even if I was willing to fish (no pun) the wrasse out, back into a QT, I’m not sure what the point would be if I have already tried so many medications. Thoughts?
