JerryJ June 11, 2011 Share June 11, 2011 Hi, I'm thinking of getting a yellow banded possum wrasse. Based on recent unpleasant parasitical experiences, I would like to do a FW dip for new arrivals whenever possible. But I think I heard at some point that wrasses don't tolerate FW dips very well. Does anyone have any relevant experiences in this area? Thanks, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind June 11, 2011 Share June 11, 2011 I would not dip the wrasse as it will go into shock very fast. If you really insist on it then be ready to remove the fish as soon as it starts to lay on it's side. If you are FW dipping to control ich then read up more as it doesn't totally cure ich.

Chad June 11, 2011 Share June 11, 2011 I wouldn't freshwater dip either. Also, many wrasses are prone to internal parasites which is better treated with something like prazipro (which you can soak food in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
