Just prazi for me

Think that is the smart answer and would be most popular

Prazi and copper, although my preference is to also feed bendazole and metronidazole--that said, I've never QT'd myself and only had others QT for me, so I'm not versed on sensitivities of wrasses with these treatments.

I use to feed med foods but stopped. If I see a wrasse that has flukes bad or eats and thin they I still will.
I my self think copper is a smart way after seeing wrasse are kept with tangs after collection in most locations.
Meds and wrasse I never had a problem with. Copper is hard on all fish and can cause problems. Wrasse do fine in copper but some around the 3 week mark will start to struggle then I pull them. Two weeks should remove any problems and easier on them. If they are with tangs, or can be infected. Then I push to 4 weeks. Who qt’s coral. Better chance for ich with coral so I don’t see a need to push wrasse in copper. Mostly remove a problem and if a little sneaks by it should never be a problem in an established display

Question for USA people. If you can buy wrasse would you rather have them conditioned? Eating, and ready to be shipped and acclimate in your tank easier
Conditioned and treated with prazi?
Conditioned treated with prazi and 2 weeks copper?
Price would be the same for either option

I would want condition/eating, Prazi, Cu. No oral/food meds. No contact with any new roommates. Actually I would like to have both options available.

Two of the greatest looking fairy wrasse! Only reason I don’t have a pintail now is I owned a couple over the years and had to change it up.

Agreed, two of my absolute favorites!

After my old guy passed I didn’t have one for several years. I’m glad I got this one, because I forgot just how much I love these guys and how hard it is to beat their colors.

Hopefully you get another one some day. After a while not having one, I’m sure you’ll be wowed/in love all over again!

Hard to beat the color of you want something bright. Also they are very laid back and are one wrasse that has a good chance staying high in the tank. The tail is my weakness. Pintails and diamondtails tails are so cool
I’ll have one if I stay in the hobby down the road for sure

On my short list for whenever I move up to a 4ft+ tank!

Is this TSM on deck for a new opening or is this Crabby's QT?

Nothing to do with tsm. Pm inbound

 

[SaltyT]

@Crabby48 I Just got shipping confirmation!

 

[Vermontreefer]

Here’s my ornate leopard wrasse from earlier today, have had her for close to two months now. Got her switched from live brine to whatever I put in the tank including pellets

 

[Crabby48]

@Crabby48 I Just got shipping confirmation!

can’t wait for the unboxing and it’s a wrasse no one knows about! It will surprise you also

I haven’t been this nervous in a long time. I just hope UPS handles my precious cargo with care.

I would very much love to tear down my qt after this batch of fish. Always a problem as I have 1 tang I’m waiting on and 2-3 wrasse. November will be a year re collecting them all. Had two years collecting and holding for the 220 to lose them. I’m tired and lost the love. Trying to get it back with coral now and finish fish.

Put a call in but thinking they are seasonal. Yes I block his name but if you know you know. I’m working my way to the grand finale but not sure my wallet will allow it
Guess what my last dream wrasse? @Salty i know you could guess

@Tcook you in??? Anyone else if I can get an order imported?

Lennardi would be nice. I don’t understand the off season in the southern hemisphere. Isn’t it going into summer down there? Radiants are also tough to get going into winter up here.

And he owes me an earmuff! Lol

Radiants I always see. Seasonal as once a year they collect. And yes I want to say we are now getting to the time it starts up. Not sure with some of the wrasse as they are collected if ordered but people don’t want to bring them in. Build the hype and put a $1200 price tag on a $400 fish. They want to move them fast to keep losses down. Granted every fish dead is more every fish cost us buying.

He owes me two Viviens lol. Hey you got one lol?

Yep. She is a great fish.

 

[Crabby48]

Yep. She is a great fish.

Had a bad feeling adding her to Victor. He was pushing choats around but it was because choats needed to be out in place while they all found their spot. Victor probably would except couple females but the choats I think will be an issue. Ugh the decisions. Need more tanks!
