I have a sixline wrasse that did not get quarantined after arrival (my bad).
Within 2 days of arrival, she developed cloudy eye. She started hiding and did some scratching on rock, I assumed ich and hoped that she would get over it and heal, as she was eating well and swimming strong during the day.
She started hiding more and more, and finally would not come out during the day at all.
I moved her to a hospital tank and have been treating with erithromycin (sp?) for a week. She eats 10-12 brine shrimp per day, but is always laying on her side and can barely swim. The cloudy eye has cleared up. She is ever so slowly getting better, but I have no idea what might be up with her and whether she'll ever recover. I am going to continue to treat for another week, but will be changing to Kanamycin today.
Has anyone had this same/similar problem, and if so, suggestions on care going forward?
TIA,
Dave
