QT? Blue Star Leopard Wrasse, Gold ring yellow Bristle tooth tang, Fat Head Sunburst Anthias, Radiant Wrasse

K9Fish · Nov 9, 2023

I plan on picking up a Gold ring Yellow Bristle tooth tang, Blue Star leopard Wrasse, Fat Head Sunburst Anthias and possibly a radiant wrasse tomorrow. Can I follow the recommended QT (copper and Prazi ) protocols? for these guys?

You can follow the standard protocol without any problems. Bes sure to keep an eye on ammonia if you do not have a cycled QT with a cycled filter.

While you can, this is quite a few fish to introduce at once. You will want to use coppersafe and not cupramine and with wrasses, I would run treatment level at 2.0-2.25 range and monitor ammonia and also some will need a bowl of deep sand

Thank you. I will probably pass on the Radiant and pick up the other three they are all small, the tang is smaller than a .50 cent piece for those that remember that. Will do with sand box.

Assure tang is eating and not showing ribs
