Anyone Have Experience with a Kuiter's Leopard Wrasse?

[Confuse]

Stupid Cooter!

Ok, so this fish wakes up at about 10:15, swims around for about 45 minutes and then goes back to sleep. He did this twice in a row. Is this normal?

 

[Confuse]

So it's been two weeks since I got the Kuiter and I haven't seen it in more than five days. Today, I decided he was a goner and called LA for their 14-day stay alive guarantee and got a refund for my $230. =[ It was a super nice fish. I wish it would have made it. But I have to praise Live Aquaria's customer service. Totally top notch!

Did they have to see a body?

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully works out better next time.

No. I told the lady it disappeared for five days and it never came out at it's usual time.

Bump! Third time's a charm, right? It's coming in this morning.

I usually stop at the first try and wait few months to try again. Hope this one does better for you!

 

[Confuse]

Well, the first one arrived DOA. The second one disappeared for a few days and then I found it between the rocks after a power outage. And I hope this third one does better because it's been at Quality Marine for more than two weeks since I bought the second. So we'll see.

Got the Kuiter and it's swimming upside down. Ugh. I hope I won't have to poke it's swim bladder. Guess I'll be back to calling LA again to see what I can do.

I'm thinking I'll keep it in my acclimation box with sand and see what happens. I don't wanna release it into the display.

Awe man that sucks. Live Aquaria is going to black list you.

Hahaha. Yeah, I bet.

I don't know if the swim bladder was caused during shipping or what. The listing for the fish has been up for two weeks. So they should have been somewhat established at the wholesaler, unless somebody slipped me a floater on purpose...

I was thinking of trying this place

http://www.liverocknreef.com/liverock/index.php?l=product_detail&p=10376

I emailed them and it's $50 shipping. I don't think they have a warranty but at the price you could get like 3 (if they can find that many) and hope one lives.

If anyone orders from them lmk I want one to lol

 

[Confuse]

I called and the lady told me to feed it a pea to a wrasse who's finicky about what it eats. Haha I think that's a freshwater tactic.

antibiotics bro Erythromycin

Really? I thought the only cure for swim bladder was decompressing it's bladder? I'll definitely try that!

 

[Adrock]

can you defiantly say its swim bladder there is really no way to know for sure there could infections with other organs that my put pressure on the swim bladder very difficult to diagnose with out cutting the fish open

 

[Adrock]

and peas are for digestive track they help clean the fish out so it is hard to say what is going some symptom's can be misleading just like when dr goes to diagnose you

 

[Confuse]

Ok. Just setup the QT again in the matter of hours with my old water change water. Is Erythromycin an in tank treatment or bath?
