bicolor angel fins rotting


Recommended Posts

Appreciate advice please.

My bicolor angel has been around for two weeks and have been eating brine shrimps well and sometimes pellets too. But

for the past few days, the fins are rotting with white spots. Still eating fine and swimming actively. At times, it stops near my

cleaner shrimp and let the shrimp nibble on its body.

picture will be great. sometimes could be lymphocystis which may give a look of "rotting", but is actually harmless

Thanks fir the reply. Sorry fish is still active, can't snap a good picture. Anyway, the fins are jagged and white at the edges. Also soppted some white speckles on its tail fin.

if its indeed fin rot, the fish's fins will be gone in a matter of days. sometimes in one day, 50% can be eaten away. depends on the severity.

could also be a mild case of lymph. occasionally my fishes have this problem. will clear in a few days with god food and water quality. a picture will confirm it.

Thanks for the advice. Still not able to snap a good photo but tonight observed skin decoloration between the blue and yellow part of the body. Mine is a 2ft tank and no QT tank. Have just changed the water but no improvements. Any good water conditioners to recommend to make the water stable? The water in the tank are marine-filtered bought ready from Ah Beng in Pasir Ris.
