Regal angel ick?

Outdrsyguy1 · Mar 16, 2017

Finished the 4th TTM transfer on the 7th of this month and on the 11th I noticed this...

I figured bacterial so I put in treatment 1 of kanaplex and metroplex and left town for work. My wife did treatment 2 two days later and I'm due for treatment 3 tonight (just got home). Noticed that the spots on the fin have gotten worse. Figured it couldn't be ick but I'm thinking now that it is.
I'm pretty good about disenfecting and drying everything between ttm's but I do have the tanks only a foot or two apart (don't have another place in the house to put it)
So maybe I had something that stayed wet somehow in a crevice (heater possibly) or it was aerosol.
Recommend redoing ttm? Or does this look like something else? The spots only show up on the tail fin and maybe on on the bottom back body fin. Here's today's pics.

I agree. That's lympho. Not lethal in most cases and should go away on it's own in time with good water quality, low stress and excellent foods and vitamins.

Thanks a ton! You two are always so helpful!
I guess the stress of ttm brought it on as the fish looked fine right up until the last day or so of ttm. I'll try to give it a good once over and then put it in a huge DT and I'm sure It will recover well and be happy.

Well it's a month later and it's totally healed and looking great. Got a little worse while it got used to the dt but then started clearing up. Thanks again!
