Hi guys,
This saturday I bought a flame angel, and since then he has been hiding behind a rock all the time and not eating. That is not a worry to me as he is a new fish and I understand it takes a couple days for them to get used to the tank. The thing that IS bothering me is that he is breathing pretty hard, and recently (today) I spotted a shiny white (more clear) patch on his side about the size of one scale. It does not look like ich or velvet, I have dealt with both. I know I didn't QT him, but my LFS told me that they had had this fish for about a month now, and was showing no problems, I watched this fish for a while. Yes I understand now this is still no reason not to QT a fish. Any thoughts on what he could be suffering from? I have four other fish, two clowns and two chromis's and they are 100% healthy. Thanks!
