Sick fish?

[Animal-Chin]

really hard to tell from the pictures but I have 2 thoughts.

1 - Something is agressive and biting the fish causing wounds? When you add 3 fish at the same time and they are all the same species they may be fighting for territory.

2 - They have ich or some parasite and its causing them the flash against rock which is hurting their bodies.


I'm guessing your fish that hid then dissapeared may be a goner. I've had wrasses not take to acclimation before and the minute they hit the tank they hide never to be seen again...

I bet it's flukes scoop then out and run prazio pro , super common with wrasse specially wild caught ones to have flukes , I usually do it prophylactic in the tank transfer before adding but it works just as good to qt them and treat with that

Google flukes see if that's what I looks like

And I wouldn't worry about wrasse hiding both my wrasses after at hid for 2 and the other one slept in the sand for like 3 days someone said something about they get jet lagged and get all messed up from coming from Indonesia super common for them to hide lots at the start
