my wrasse has a wound....

ok so today i was looking into my tank and my wrasse seems to have some kind of wounds on the side of its head.
i tried to take pics but it just doesnt work..

my regal tang seems a lot better btw.. hopefully he will keep his inmune system up.

im not sure on what to do with my cleaner wrasse, anyone has any ideas?

 

bump

 

Cleaner wrasse, huh?

Those typically don't do well in captivity.

 

i mean i know they are hard to get them to eat but ive seen mine cleaning my fish, is just that hole that worries me.:-/

o well.. i guess is just a matter of " wait and see"

 

Is it a flesh wound or HLLE
either case, add vitamin c to the tank and soak food in dissolved vitamin c

 

thats what im not sure.how can i tell? do you know any brands that would be good?

 

There will not be enough parasites etc to feed a cleaner wrasse completely in your tank forever, you will need to get it to eat prepared food or it will starve eventually, it may take a while though.

 

soaking the food in selcon and or garlic might help to get it to eat. Marine c does help heal wounded fish, so that can't hurt either.

 

Well the wrasse is dead... shame...

 

sorry man
