Anything is possible, but the capture and transfer seemed to go smoothly. Fish is still alive, but just lying there on frag rack. For first 45 mins, it was hiding in rock work as expected. This is the same fish that acted off after the third dose of prazipro. The respiratory rate seems to be 115-125 while just lying there. Hopefully it’s just a drama queen. CUC has not messed with it yet…
Sorry, I was at the dentist…..

That slight drop in specific gravity wouldn’t have caused this. Could you have hit it in the head with the net frame while catching it? Did you chase it around a lot in the capture?
The other three fish are no where to be found, and didn’t come out when I just fed the tank.

Unfortunately, don’t know the pH of qt tank. Display is 8.14.

Sorry, I must have missed this, what are the three missing fish? The single wrasse could just be an injury, but if all four fish reacted poorly to the move, something else is likely going on…..

The fish that are hiding are carpenters wrasse, moyers leopard wrasse and a goby. I assumed all four would hide in rock work for a day or so. The fish is still rigid and now one the sand bed, snails are getting close to the fish.

I don’t recall any issues pinching against any surface, the goby jumped quite a bit, but that was it.
