Multiple Dying Wrasse

[Batman222b]

So I had 4 wrasse in my 75. A fairy, 1 male flasher, 1 female flasher, and 1 Lubbock
The flashers didn’t take to the fairy or the Lubbock very well and would chase and nip them frequently. They both passed last week and I believe it as because they were harassed. This week, I discovered the male flasher is dying. I’m concerned. My water parameters seem good and all other fish are doing fine. (3 Goby, clown, hippo, and Red scooter blenny).
Any thoughts? The female wrasse seems happy and fine.

To add more info, I did do a 20% water change yesterday, although I doubt that would have affected him.

 

[Batman222b]

Typically I do a 15% change every 10 days.

Sorry to hear this, why do you think the male flasher is dying? If the parameters are good, sounds like stress all the way around. Seems like you have plenty of room in a 75 gallon. I like your approach on changing water, it cannot hurt.

 

[Batman222b]

He died this afternoon. Was laying on his side and gilling super hard. Unable to swim.

 

[Batman222b]

Think the stress was just from going after the other 2?

 

[Batman222b]

Female has been acting weird today too. Swimming super fast and flashing as well. I’m at a loss.

 

[Mjl714]

No visible signs of ich, velvet or other disease? Other fish are fine?

 

[Batman222b]

Nothing. Which is strange.

What other fish you have in the tank?

 

[Batman222b]

3 Goby, clown, hippo, and Red scooter blenny

Stray voltage?

 

[Batman222b]

Thought about that...how would you check??

You need to use a multi-meter.

How long has the tank been up and running? What kind of water movement do you have?

 

[Batman222b]

About 4 years.
Would think if it were voltage, my other fish would have been hit.

 

[Batman222b]

Medium flow

Flashers don’t live long... Maybe it because of age? Strange that they were after Lubbocks! Have you QT them?

 

[jp_75]

Wrasses are very prone to parasites! Have you added anything recently?

 

[Batman222b]

They were all QT’d before the display.
