I just finished QT my fish and treating for ICK. During this process I noticed a small white spot appear on my pygmy angel's tail. The spot has now gone through to the other side creating the start of a small hole and a second one has started right next to it.
I treated the ICK with Organi Cure and it seems to have cleared up. My initial thought is that this is a fungus or secondary bacterial infection. I now have the pygmy in a 10 gal and have been treating with Mardel Maroxy and Melofix since Saturday. I have not noticed any real improvement other than the spots have turned to more of a brownish color than white. After carefully reading the Mardel disease chart I am wondering is I should also use Maracyn-Two(If can it be used simultaneously?).
So far the angel's behavior is fine. It comes out and feeds with no problem. I am just hoping to head off any larger problems. I have had this fish about 4 months. I tried to include a couple of pics, but the file size is to big.
Any thougths or other suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I would hate to lose this fish.
Thanks,
