New Wrasse in QT with a new spot

[HotRocks]

What about dosing for food to deal with any internal parasites? I have focus to bind and Garli Guard for taste.

Yes, I treat every new fish by adding either metro or GC to food for 14 days.

Do you just use the dosing spoon that comes with Metro to dose the GC into food?

Do you just use the dosing spoon that comes with Metro to dose the GC into food?

Yes. Standard procedure is to use one scoop of Focus (I make it heaping slightly), and one level scoop of GC, added to about a tablespoon of food. I also add 1/5 scoop of Metro to the mix just to bump the metro concentration a bit. Thawed frozen food seems to dissolve the medication well. I then feed the shrimp and other small meaty pieces, leaving most of the liquid behind. (Although this is for a dt, where I don't want to add any med that won't be consumed immediately.)

I'm pulling for you! I just put an pintail wrasse in qt today and haven't yet decided whether to do GC or CP first. So far no lesions or behavioral clues. We'll see if it eats tomorrow.

If your fish won't eat the food with Focus/GC, they might go for Focus/Metro instead.

I’m hoping with Garlic Guard they will eat it up.
