harcocjh Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I have a new six line wrasse that has been in my QT for going on 4 weeks. Just today I've noticed him starting to flash on the top of the PVC tubes that are in the tank. He's doing it pretty frequently and I'm starting to get a little concerned. I've never seen him do this before today. Also noticed him do a few little twitches while swimming. This can't be normal right? Flukes? Ich? Link to comment
Psychosis Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 It could be a display of dominance if the fish can see it's reflection clearly in the glass, just a thought. Link to comment
harcocjh Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 hmm...that's a thought as the tube he keeps doing it by is near the side. I'll keep watching him. So far I see nothing else abnormal. No spots or anything wrong with his skin. But could be in the gills i suppose. Link to comment
harcocjh Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does he do it at noon or at midnight? That may be a clue as to what's wrong with him. I'm not sure if you're serious or not, lol. It was during the day. I'm not around at night as the tank is in my office at work. I haven't seen him do it again and he looks perfectly healthy otherwise....eating well, no spots or anything. I'll just continue to keep an eye on him. I was going to transfer him to the DT this week as it's been 4 weeks now that he's been in the QT. But maybe i'll give it another week or two just to be safe. Link to comment
Raturo Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I had one in a 29 gallon and every time I would view the tank for a couple mins the dude would swim up in directly in my line of sight and stick all his fins out. Almost like he was saying "This is my house!" lol. Cool fish, never had an issues with him. Link to comment
BusterDB Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have a Lubbocks that flashes almost every time I feed the tank. Looks pretty cool. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Mine flashes at feeding time, the eyes even change their hue to a blood red,more so when I feed brine or my sis. Link to comment
harcocjh Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Well it's been a few more days and I still haven't seen him do it again. I guess maybe it was a one time thing...weird. Anyway still gonna keep him in the QT another couple weeks...so that'll be a total of 6 weeks. If he was going to have something I should see it within 6 weeks right? Link to comment
