He's still dorsal fin up, so that's a good sign. Just filled the QT with water from the main display, added some friends (hermits) and now we wait...

This guy is a tiny little sucker, really cute. Currently hiding in the sand, so hopefully he comes out soon. Probably getting hungry.

i wasnt gonna say it as i do agree with qt but i added a leopard wrasse to my system the same day you posted you were gonna qt another one, shes just a small gal at 2"

there are 7 wrasses in this tank including 2 already established leopards, the new leopard was settled in in a couple hours and is doing well with the other fish and is eating frozen mysis already.


it sucks that theres such a risk for qt, as much as i would like to say for sure my fish isnt sick or going to get sick i have to take a chance on some things.

leopards imo are one of the fish who dont do so well with qt , they are such a finicky fish untill they are comfortable with their surroundings.


sorry to hear this brad , but now maybe look for a leopard from someone elses system and just plop him in there??....i know its a tough make or break situation

sorry to hear of your loss.
wrasses are also notorious for dying for no apparent reason.
I wouldn't blame the QT as long as it is set up properly.
In my experience, any wrasse is very hit and miss regardless of where you put them.
