Unknown Neurological Wrasse Disease (UNWD)

[Jay Hemdal]

Jay, thoughts on this one? Was normal up until I noticed yesterday when I got home from work. Finished 14 days of copper and did sterile trasfer. This is about 4 days out of copper. And was perfect during ramp up of copper, and the 14day treatment

It's breathing a bit faster than I typically see with UNWD. Is it still eating, or trying to eat? That is a key symptom.

Have you treated this fish preventatively for flukes?

It's showing interest in eating, but havnt seen it a really eat in the last day. I'll do a couple rounds of Prazi and see if it improves. It's the only fish of 9 I've just put through qt showing anything currently.

Whatever this is, it's disappointing. This is the 2nd Lineatus I've lost this year, plus a Rhimboid. Purchased pre QT in hopes to be past this about 3 weeks ago; apparently not. Was in the DT until 3 days ago, moved to QT system to avoid additional injury. I'll have uthnize tomarrow.

That does look like UNWD, sorry. This is a good example of why people think this is from the fish striking the glass or a rock in the tank, it sure looks like that would cause an issue like this - but there is never any damage to the snout...at least at first. After a fish has been spinning for some time, their mouths do get bunged up a bit, but that's from after the spinning starts.
