Hi,
I wasn't planning to get another Hector's, at least not for a good long time, but my LFS had an increasingly sad looking one who'd been there since 1/10, and I wanted to at least give him a chance with the pods in my tank.
Added him yesterday 1/28 and he's doing well so far, picking at things, has pooped, and his belly has filled out. He's still very scrawny but seems to have a good appetite.
I've noticed him flashing on the rocks one time, and he seems like he's yawning a lot, so I was thinking I should go ahead and dose prazi for flukes? Is this species sensitive to it?
I assume the prazi won't hurt the pod population in the tank?
It's a fluval evo 13.5, and I've added an airstone to the back chamber already so that should help with oxygenation.
There is also a firefish in the tank who was added on 1/20 and doing great so far.
