Sick Koran Angel - Pics - Need diagnosis

[RLG2182]

Hi everyone!

So I'm trying to get over an earlier issue that I had with using the wrong kind of silicone (GE II) and not letting it cure long enough.

One fish that survived doesn't look too good: a Koran Angel. Looks like blotchy skin with discoloration. He remains active, is eating normally, and doesn't "seem" to be suffering at all. Any ideas?

Am-0
Nit-0
Nitra-5-10
PH-8.3
Temp-80
Sal-1.022
TDS-6ppm (replacing filters when gets to 10ppm)

I am doing PWC each week. I also installed a new UV sterilizer this week as well to plan for future needs.

This stuff is a killer if not cured long enough. i rushed a new sump design and put it in b4 a week long trip. came back to death. all my corals were dead and 2-3 fish died. The Ethanol and ammonia released wiped my tank. Keep doing some more pwcs incase you still have some of that in your tank. mabey set up a QT and treat it with some sort of meds?

Lots of PWCs. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the replies so far!

I'm still searching on the internet for diagnoses... still nothing.

The colour problem is most likely a side effect of stress from whatever leaked from the uncured silocone. Provided he's eating and swimming if you keep up the PWCs he should pull through.

That actually looks like a bad case of marine velvet. It may be just color loss though, hard to tell.

Beautiful fish, one of my favorites !! Sad to see him like this. Hope he pulls through. Keep us updated !!

I had one about the same size in a customer's tank that faded out and eventually died, I attribute it to a tiny little six-line wrasse that picked at his fins all the time. Hope yours makes it, I really wanted to see the one in my customer's tank reach adult. But oh well.

Any news on your angel's progress?
