Anyone Have Experience with a Kuiter's Leopard Wrasse?
- Thread starter Confuse
- Start date
I'll get one right now. He's pretty visible in QT.
He is a fighter. I practically assumed it was dead until it started gasping for air 30 minutes after sitting in the bucket. Then a few days of floating upside down. Followed by a few days of hiding. And here we are.
I just fed it and it looks like it's picking on the brine/mysis. Crossing my fingers on this one too.

Advice needed:
Ok, so my Kuiter has stabilized. It's been two weeks since he's in QT. I'm thinking of running some medication as a prophylactic measure. First, I was going to start with a course of prazipro. Just one dose, then change the water in 5-7 days. I'm already feeding the Kuiter Adrock's cocktail which contains metro in the food and it's eating it.
I haven't noticed any scratching. In the beginning, I noticed it pooped a thin white string so I thought it was internal parasites, but now it's pooping normal (brown/black and thick).
Are there any other preventatives I could run? I don't want to extend the quarantine period too long since it is a leopard wrasse and I've had a few die in quarantine without any ill signs in the past. I was thinking four weeks tops.
Any thoughts [MENTION=3047]Adrock[/MENTION] Robert?

good luck
I've been using NLS Ick Shield Powder with great results. The active ingredient is a form of Chloroquine Phosphate. If you google the ingredient you will see the benefits and actual usefulness of the medication. It's not hard on the fish either. But obviously if the fish is doing well and not showing any symptoms then observation, good diet, and clean water is probably the best.
