No. They do not eat parasites.

They are not.

Well then why don't you tell me what they are trying to eat when they pick at the fish. Mine was trying to pick at the other fish but they would just swim away because there is nothing they want done as opposed to when they where covered with ich the wrasse spend all day picking at them..

Why do you say my other fish are not doing well?..other than the clown that my wife said was resting all day and now paired back up with the other clown and was eating a few minutes ago but still not swimming well do to injury on back half.

SNORVICH: Maybe you don't know the facts. Normally i would have had time to do a lot more but. My 3 yrs old was going in for surgery in a few days (out now and doing great) We lost are babysitter we had lined up due to a death, I run a small snow plowing co and it wouldn't stop snowing and i work a normal 40hr wk job so sorry if i couldn't drop everything to do a TTM. Maybe ypu are just better than everyone else!

My wife just asked a good question, when we are finally back to normal and we want to restock the with the fish we lost.. Can we order/buy a few fish at a time and quarantine them together?
Also as there will be a period when the fish are ready but tank is not would it be a good idea to treat them with some kind of medication as extra insurance?

Depending on the type of fish, size of fish and TTM tank size, yes and no.

So i have good news to report i was sure my female clown was not going make it, she had a big internal red spot and open wound on one side that grew white fuzz on it and she would not eat. She was very thin, but then wound slowing got better and yesterday she started eating and this morning was eating like a pig.
Other than that all fish seem happy and healthy and i just keep doing these pain in the --- water changes every 2-3 days.
I had a thought if i had to do this again, what if you put a brightwell bio brick in the hypo tank, it should be able support cycle in hypo?

I just wanted to update this after doing hypo and slowing bringing the fish back to normal sal. they all looked cured but I decided to ttm on the way in just to be safe. All fish survived the transfer and all are still alive. We even have some new tank mates (although they went threw quarantine )
Now the take is doing great i have added alot of corals. Thanks for any help i got. sorry if i was a little short at times.
