New fish

Wanted to share my new fish I got this week.
Flame hawk

And my absolute favorite fish
Red Lined Wrasse

 

Me too they have the most personality of any fish I have ever had.

 

Nice pair of flame hawks, when I upgrade tanks I will get a pair.

 

I wouldn’t worry about already established shrimp, Flame hawks have pretty small mouths they would probably eat sexy shrimp but I wouldn’t worry about cleaner shrimp.

 

First I get the fish eating for about a week while frequently observing them, then I slowly bring coppersafe up to 2 ppm over the course of 3-5 days depending on the fish. They will stay at full therapeutic copper for 14 days, then transferred to a sterile qt to be treat with 2 rounds of prazipro and observed for another 2 weeks min.

 

I have found that more fish seem to tolerate coppersafe better than cupramine. And the api copper test kit is easier to find

 

Yes wrasses are very sensitive to any type of meds, I just take it really slow and watch for any signs that something is going south. I have never had any luck with cupramine. TTM is a good option for wrasses, I am just affraid they will still have velvet.
