It's not Wednesday but if @i cant think says it's ok...

Does this look like UWND to y’all? Over the last couple days he’s swimming vertically more and more. He is still eating well and can straighten out at times, then goes back to vertical.

Could well be early signs of it. Sorry

How long have you had it?

 

[Ross]

He came from a reputable online quarantine source and had been through quarantine, then a week of observation with me and a week in the display. So in captivity at least 6 weeks.

 

[Slocke]

Yeah it is probably UNWD. Watch to see if it is still managing to eat over the next few days.

Dang, I hate to lose one of my fish. Any Hail Mary treatments worthy of the effort?

If I even touch the lid he dives under the sand. If I go near the tank the Melanurus is out front staring at me, but as soon as I grab my phone he runs for the shadows.

Has he jumped at all do you know?

Little cutie at LFS today.

Photo bombed by a tiny puffer

If he has, I haven’t witnessed him doing it. He seems to be a rather calm individual, he’s never “freaked out” like I have seen other fish do.

Still the exact same today as he was yesterday. Begging for food at the top of the tank, just swimming vertically most of the time.

Hopefully just a swimbladder or minor spinal injury. I’ve had fish survive both

Wrasse Wednesday photo. He's still a little nervous I'm the new tank but he's out and about when I'm not right in front of the tank

Severnsi Pencil wrasse is in house, acclimated, and currently sleeping in the sand. Hoping he comes out tonight or tomorrow! Sadly the leopard didn't survive shipping.
