Paralyzed Wrasse?
Anyone ever experience a leopard wrasse in a paralyzed state during and after acclimation?
I got a Leopard wrasse yesterday and it seemed to be working his gills extra fast while laying on his side in the bag. I slow dripped him for over an hour and all my water parameters are fine. This hasn't stopped for going on 30 hours now. If I disturb him he gets startled and swims away real quick only to roll over on his side again as if he can't stay upright. Any clues to what may be going on? Is he a goner?

Well he's done. Didn't make it through the second night. I"ll call Live Aquaria and get a refund today. At least they are good about that.

Sounds like he had an internal injury, maybe swim bladder damage.

I have heard that LWs are bad shippers to begin with. They are awsome fish, sorry for the loss, Tim.

he other wrasse I had it happen to was in my established 40G reef for over 1 year. I was taking this tank down and adding him to the 370G tang. As I chased him with the net and caught him is when it occurred

Jeezo Tim you should have bought the Leopard Wrasse from Eric when we were over there.
BTW the one I got from Scott a week ago is doing great, I'd tell him to keep ordering them and when you see one that comes in good snag it! Both of mine eat arcti pods and PE Mysis daily. Christo

The fish suffered from a build up of lactic acid in its muscles...typical for this fish as they stress easily from shipment.
