New home for sick melanurus wrasse

[jediluke]

I have a sick melanurus wrasse. It's not doing good at all in my tank.
It's skinny and cant swallow any shrimps I feed.
It's eager to eat but seems like it cant swallow it.
Anyone want to try to heal it please come and pick up.
I live in cypress.

Have you tried feeding black worms? I have some bangii cardinals that just picked up at my local fish store and they will only eat live food. I have been feeding black worms (their fresh water and die quickly in a saltwater tank) and when I drop some in the tank they are gone in a couple of seconds. I'm hoping to get the cardnals to sometime eat flaked or pellet food. I would try to help you nurse him/her back to health in my 125, however, I have grown attached to my coco worm and I think the melanurus would make a meal of my coco worm.

I'm sorry your wrasse is sick. You can try a family owned pet store that you trust. go to them and say"I'll give you $10 bucks if they can hold him in there QT for you and treat him.

Drew...

Go to New Age Aquatics and talk to Len or Chad and ask them that question... They have a huge QT tank with proper medicines in it. like 200 or 300 gallons...

They would probably let you keep it in there until it gets better... No Guarantees though.
