Can you give some more history (how old, quarantined, etc?). It's hard to tell from the pictures - but it looks almost like lymphocystis. How are your water parameters? Can you give some more info about the lesion near the gill - which may be an injury?Hey all, I need some help ID’ing an issue with my angel. He’s acting fine, eating like a champ, no weird breathing or behavior. I thought it was just from my wrasse nipping at him but I want to be sure. He has a white spot at the top of his fin that I noticed this weekend, and then the fin by his gills looks weird today. Thoughts? Tankmates: Valentini puffer, damsel, blue-headed fairy wrasse, and Diamond watchman Goby.
I haven't checked my parameters yet, but will do so soon. We had a tank crash in February and just restocked the tank so I have had him for about 2 weeks (same for all the fish.) Near the gill is more like his fin is damaged it looks larger than the other. Ill try to get a video or better pictures. He is quick. haha.
Great the reason I asked about your parameters and shipping is that lymphocystis can often 'break out' during stress - like shipping, or shifting parameters. The fact that this happened shortly after coming to your tank amplifies that thought. Also - make sure your current parameters are excellent. Nice tank
Thank you! We fought hair algae for a long time and just now have it starting to look decent again. Waited for a long time to replace our fish and coral after the power outage killed everything. It's almost time for a partial water change anyway, so Ill double check everything and do that sooner than this weekend. Appreciate the help!
