Blue Spotted Tamarin Wrasse....

So The other day I received my wrasse in the mail. Poor guy Is pretty thin. I had to turn a few powerheads off at night cause He kept going by them and getting stuck. Today He has a bit more energy and is managing not to get stuck to the powerheads!

Oddly enough I have an order of Pods coming in the mail today or tomorrow or sat... (whenever it gets here, so hopefully I can help fatten up the wrasse)

Heres a video of him.



He looks 10 times better then yesterday :-s.

 

Best of luck Eric. Tamarin's are notorious for being a beautiful, but difficult, genus.

 

Im really Hoping he pulls through, Hes been grazing for pods all morning. and is slowly getting strength to manage the powerheads.

 

Outlook sounds good, to be honest.

One question though; how is the condition of it's mouth? No signs of injury/distress?

 

Looks normal to me.... Nothing out of the usual.

 

Good.

I'd just keep doing what you're doing. In addition, I'd offer some smaller frozen foods (like cyclopeeze), or maybe even something like arctipods (reef nutrition) if you have some available to you.

 

Gave some cyclopeeze today Fish didnt seem to interested but everything else was! LOL.

After everything settled a bit though He went crazy picking at the rocks so my guess was he was going after what settled.

 

Glad it appears to be coming around, hopefully it continues to improve.

 

Thanks

 

Awwww he's so weak and skinny

I hope he pulls through! He's so pretty!!
