Hey y'all...okay, so I'm having a little issue with my 10 gal. First I'll give some background. It's a 5-month old 10 gallon FOWLR, which I'd put two clowns, a coral banded shrimp, and a sand sifter star into, and everything was fine and dandy. My sister surprised me by putting in a flame angel while I was out (she doesn't know about overstocking but I realize that this is too small for an angel) I'm getting ready to upgrade tank sizes but won't be able to do so for a couple more weeks. I do water changes weekly, and I am using an ammonia/nitrate killer in my filtration system.
My problem is that I noticed that my flame angel has what looks like white dust all over her - my clowns do too but not nearly as bad. You can really see it in the more translucent parts of her fins. Is this ich? I've never dealt with it before so I have no idea. My angel will sometimes rest on the bottom of the tank, against her tail and faced upward. I just did a small water change (as much as I could as I haven't restocked on fresh and saltwater recently) but does anyone have any idea what this might be? Really appreciate it.
