I think it’s just the picture, but I’ll check when I get home tonight.Is it's eyes cloudy? Looks that way.
I just watched a video I took that I can’t figure out how to upload. The center of the eye does look cloudy. Flukes?Is it's eyes cloudy? Looks that way.

I did. I typically drip for 20 minutes, then remove water, then continue dripping (when a long acclimation is necessary).When you drip acclimated, did you remove some water from the container it was in periodically? Could be ammonia burn.
Thanks for your help. I’ll give that a shot.Could be. Fresh water dip may tell.

I saw some poop on the bottom of the tank last week. It was mostly white, but not stringy white like you’d expect with internal worms. It reminded me more of the poop that a large yellow-flanked used to drop in there, lol. I also didn’t see it hanging from the fish either, although I may have just missed that.Okay, good.
With pinks, it's difficult to see parasites, especially velvet. Don't think it's velvet, as it would have killed pretty quickly.
Flukes is a real possibility, as is internal parasites. Ever seen it poop?

iiI'd fresh water dip first to see if it has flukes and then treat all fish for internal parasites as a precaution. Wrasses are know for internal parasites.
Will do - thanks again

Long acclamations lead go ammonia burns. Wrasse don’t do well with that. Going down in salinity can be done pretty quickly without trouble— going up is where osmotic shock becomes a danger.
Let us know the results of the freshwater dip.
It’s a good guess. Couldn’t hurt to try some NFG.No flukes after the dip. It was a pretty low-stress event until he jumped out of the container as I was getting ready to put him back in (d’oh). Fortunately he landed on carpet. Thanks for the info about the acclimation. I wasn’t sure how dangerous it would be to go down quickly. I did get a very large bag for the fish from the LFS. Hopefully that helped.
So cloudy eyes, lethargy, and lack of appetite. Bacterial infection?
Is there a specific brand of NFG that you’d recommend? I have Kanaplex, but I’ll have to look for NFG tomorrow.It’s a good guess. Couldn’t hurt to try some NFG.
Any nitrofuracin green should workIs there a specific brand of NFG that you’d recommend? I have Kanaplex, but I’ll have to look for NFG tomorrow.
