Aquarium Advice FINatic
Sorry in advance for the long post.
I have had the worst experience in my 4 years of fish-keeping this week. It was time for a new fish and I went to my LFS to get a new fish. The same LFS that sold me a Harlequin Tusk that he says had been eating like a hog, even though he would not come out to eat around me, I thought he was a friend and trusted him. Never ate a bite in my tank. Anyway, I bought a red Coris Wrasse to replace the Lightning Wrasse I lost due to old age. Anyway. Quarantined for 2 weeks no signs of anything so I let him go. Every one is fine and dandy for a week. Then a sudden Ick and/or Velvet outbreak. Everyone is eating so I dont worry about it. Goes on about a week and I try some Rally and Kick Ich to help out. Everything clears up. I went out of town for a weekend come back and everyone is covered except the Wrasse. Next day my 6 month old PBT and my very expensive Zebra Swallowtail Angel are dead. Then the next day my two-year-old puffer! He was my favorite fish ever. DEAD! My last fish left is my Blue Throat Trigger who is almost twoyears old and he looks terrible. He will probobly die! Then I see the Wrasse swimming around, no signs of anything. He must be a host. I am sick to death. I have not been so sad in a very long time. I don't know what to do.
This LFS has sold me a bum Harlequin and a host Wrasse. I am so mad.
Help!
Make me feel better.
