Weird wrasse behaviour

[Ollie_Fowler]

Ok, so i have recently treated for ich, and have seen no white spots for 6 weeks now!

However now and again my yellow wrasse will rub his "chin" on a bit of pipe. (Maybe once every couple of hours)

He sometimes twitches also!

However all the fish are still in qt and none of the others are doing it.

He does get chased from time to time!

Eating fine and no heavy panting or anything!

I have done one round of tremazol yesterday (cant get prazi in uk!)

Any other ideas?

Should i treat with copper?

You have these fish in QT right now?

 

[Ollie_Fowler]

Yes all in qt. have been for 6/7 weeks

I would guess flukes or some type of parasite. I would treat with prazipro.

 

[Ollie_Fowler]

I cant get prazi here in the uk. I done one round of our equivalent which is tremazol. He is still doing it occasionally. But will do another round next week.
This version is a 6 hour bath.

It's my understanding that tremazol contains praziquantel. If that is correct and dosing is similar, you will probably want to do two rounds of treatment to ensure that your fish are fluke-free.

I routinely do two prophylactic treatments of prazipro on all fish that go through QT whether they show signs of flukes or not.

Yea. I will give it another go. I just find it really strange how the other fish dont seem to be suffering!
By the way that tremazol had a real bad affect on my valentini puffer! And he died today! Not cool!
A really weird situation i think!!
