wah sian , my 2nd flame wrasse just died for no reason again, and best part is i saw him twitching away and just stop breathing, all i did was just a water change, think i will give up on flame wrasse if they are so sensitive

[wilsontantw]

due to the black basket not being able to sit properly in the frag tank , shots are abit weird angle

another shot with more of the tri-colours put into the centre of the baskets

SUPER RICS!!!! knew you must have gotten all the superb stuff, coz those leftovers that i bought are already quite decent...

Bro never mind la dont give up,can buy & put inside my tank i help u to babysit..Hee Hee...

bro dont give up. play deeper water wrasse like this 1 feeding and flashing still can die is very common. flame still not so bad.. rhomboid... my first rhomboid died within 24 hours. despite feeding. den my friends also started dying 1 by 1. some even keep 1 month flashing and eating still die. my 1 rhomboid die within 24 hours more pain for me than your 2 flame die. summore i also had a flame wrasse die on me before.

1st time was in a car accident then the bang was too loud, shock the fish and die. 2nd time was jump out. this is my 3rd flame wrasse and blessed, its ok. my current rhomboid is lucky to be able to buy from digiman. his is very stable and feeding. i think the entire batch of 9 rhomboids from last shipment, digiman's one was the only 1 that survive.

well gonna get a rhomboid and another flame wrasse from irwana's shipment later , i already prepared for the worse " duno why i still try"

but i think i never told you my story when i had around 20+ wrasse ( 2 linetus / 2 laboutei all aussie ) (at least 10 splendid leopards) ( 1 christmas) ( 2 exquisite )( 1 rosy scale) ( and a few flashers)die in a period of 2 months plus , couldnt find any problem at all , tested water also ok and i only finally found out the reason is because of a choked sulfphur denitrator giving out toxins, had to do a 50% water change then only problem rectified , i almost decommed just before i found out the problem , why did i fixed the problem damn lol decommed would have made my life better

lol dont say that lah. fix always better. decom wait you tempted to redo. and trust me u will redo! haha. jiayou for tomorro's rhomboid. i believe the flame will be okay. 3rd time's a charm! and flames arent that difficult bah, so this time you surely succeed. rhomboid i dont say anything yet ok? haha! jiayou can liao. choose healthy one most important. alpha but unhealthy oso no use

i believe its bacteria based that affecting your wrasse. something that cannot be checked by test kits till date.

add UV and ozone will help.

all the best.

[yikai]

my personal take on the situation is a combination of a few factors bah.

bacterial infections (not much we can do, usually too late to treat. furan works if you wanna try)

poor handling since they are deeper water specimens (nothing we can do. leave it to fate)

cannot adapt well because we mostly buy big alpha ones (try to buy, if possible, smaller sized wrasse. they adapt MUCH better.)

too stress already from shipping, yet no proper acclimation in LFS (buy them straight from the shipping bag. dont give LFS repack. go home and drip)

shocked by various water parameters in a span of few hours (as above, go home drip straight from bag. dont let LFS repack)

lighitng of our tanks very bright as compared to their deeper water habitat (turn off lighting or dim it to very low. light shock can send a cirrhilabrus jumping like mad)

internal parasites (nothing we can do, too late to treat once found out. can try feeding them prazipro or something)

infection of swim bladder due to improper decompression (swim bladder disease very hard to treat. almost always a slow death)

if using a decompressing needle, never poke properly, lead to infection. (if obvious puncture wounds on deepwater fishes, dont buy. never decompress properly)

big wrasses don't ship well. a combination of all of these is enough to kill one no problem. bacterial infection, i agree with that too, but abit skeptical... if on the outside of the body, characteristic of mycobacterium will be cloudyness and "blurry" skin. internal wise, if they are feeding very well and suddenly die for no reason, it is quite unlikely bacterial infection. unless they are not feeding to begin with.

its impossible to pin-point the exact cause for these deaths in deepwater fairies. all we can do is hope we get the right 1.

all advice above just IME, IMO. wont guarantee success but it will definately make your new fish more accustomed to captive life.

yalor cant rem who is the 1 who gave me the wrasse poison, i wanna go and give him rat poison lol,

anyway this morning while feeding my QT , i realise my huge healthy feeding like pig laboutei rom reborn is now down with ich and he looks damn stress, sian

i think i will not QT wrasses anymore, they dont seem to take QT well at all, this 1 really seem extremely healthy and strong , solo chose for me the biggest and fattest that day, but you did not get to see it because i left before you got there. later the rhomboid and flame i just gonna drip and throw into the display and let fate do its thing , no more QT for me( at least not for wrasses

ya i got ozone running, i got other wrasses but they all seem fine , 1 small laboutei, 1 christmas , 2 social, 1 filament , 1 exquisite

lemon can take the wrasse word out of my tank thread?

dont seem to be making it haha

[yikai]

haha bro. cannto edit thread title

never mind. i dont QT my wrasses also. at most betta few days. good luck with your rhomboid. dont worry about ich. wrasses not so jialat. my laboutei first week ich now ok liao. they will get used to it and resist it after awhile. my laboutei also quite big and very greedy... but i think not as nice as yours becoz mine one of the last few hehe. but ok lah. still v nice. tail got alot of patterns and flashes well.

i got a female rhomboid just now to pair with my male. feeding on pellets liao. will betta box a few days/1 week then release. should have gotten 3 females make a harem!... just now dunno why i took 1 nia regret :(

[dachkie]

just called auntie i going down to take the rhomboid and flame which i reserved, she say only 1 flame for me , got 2 rhomboids got scratch on the body she pull out for selling 1st and wait for them to recover, good intergrity and service, thats y i like to patronise them

[dachkie]

today is another sad day, if i lost anymore wrasse i will ban myself from wrasse and i will wack any1 who ask me want wrasse or not

super super chio alpha laboutei from reborns latest shipment , super healthy eater initially until i set up my frag tank few days ago so i shifted the tank light to the frag tank and the QT tank was in only room light so i did not know that it suffered from brokylnella ( suspected) did so much things to keep him alive then rush down to clementi to buy formalin and came back to a dead fish. this time is the ultimate sian , the worst of losing any of my fish , this is my fave and nicest of them all and i only got to keep it for 1 week, sad angry and guilty for killing such a beautiful specimen
