Hi, I recently put in my 80 gallon saltwater tank a sailfin tang and four pajama fish. In my tank I have an angel fish, a diamond goby, a porcupine puffer, and a firefish. Today I noticed some of my fish look dusty (the angel and the tang) and I looked it up it said it might be velvet. But all of my fish are eating so I'm not sure. If it is velvet how do I treat it?
