good day reefers,

im recently getting very bother with one of my angelfish gillspine skin is peeling off showing off the white bone. at first its just a small dot thats peeling off but after 2 week, it has propagated to almost the whole gillspine. i have deal with fungus, parasite, bacteria but never have i encounter this type of situation. do any one have any clue of what is going on?

the fish itself is eating well and fat.

water parameter is fine and other angels and fishes are fine.

anyone experience it before and could tell me your experience and ways to solve it?

sorry, currently got no camera with me so no pic of my fish. but you can rougly imagine whats going on easily.

please help! thanks!

warmest regards,
LaW

Tangs,

thanks for helping, in your opinion what is the cause for this situation? The information provided by the link doesn't really match with what I'm having.

thanks!

Law ... I don't know what is the cause as the other livestocks in the tank are doing well and "disease-free".

It definitely looks like there is a strain of bacteria floating in the tank which attacks this Regal and hopefully its immune system can overcome it.

If this is the latest livestock into the tank then I can understand why this fish is "attack" by the bacterial whereas the existing livestocks are ok as their immune systems are able to combact it.

Maybe some other reefers can help here. wink.gif
