What are the specifics of your tank?

Most wrasse need a variaty of frozen meaty foods. A diet of mostly brine shrimp and flakes IMO in not enough......it also could be some kind of internal parisite.

ooo thnx how would u get rid of that or will the fish just get rid of it and he eats the frozen krill

 

[promisetbg]

Hexamit can get rid of internal parasites. The fish should be QT'd if any meds are used. I have also heard that Spectrum has come out with a food for internal parasites..not sure of the name. He should be fed more than flakes and brine is pretty much useless. Try some frozen foods...mysis shrimp is great.

agreed. especially when brine has no nutrition for the wrasse.
