help i think my wrasse is dying

[Marines_Wife]

well i hope he pulls through it looks to me like something is driving him insane he hides half in the sand then comes out and scratches and swims erraticially then goes back in the sand and he does this all day and he will eat if he can get some food when hes out!! im thinking it might still be parasites but all the treatments i read about say the fish must be in reasonable condition to start treatment

Scratches as in flashing???
Against the rocks/sand??

Could it possibly be ich??

the anti parasitic pellet food is spectrum thera +A by newlife

The anti-parasitic pellet food im pretty sure will only treat intestinal parasites, not what would be effecting his gills.

If it is voltage, then adding the ground probe will let you see if it was the cause. If he gets better, then you'll know. Then you can find out which of your equipment was leaking stray voltage and fix it.

Is he eating at all? If it's a parasite, it would soon infect your other fish. No one's bullying him? What other fish do you have in there?
