Last night I noticed that our 3" Emperor Angel's left pectoral fin is looking cloudy and frayed vs right, and he seems to be using it less. Otherwise his activity and feeding seem normal. I'm worried - could this be an early sign of some disease or infection? We have 7 fish, ~= 15 fish-inches in a 40-gal SW tank with 2" CC substrate, various dead corals for hiding places, and ~ 5 snails, no LR yet. Ph 8.0, SG ~ 1.23, NH4 & nitrites zero, nitrates steady @ 5.0ppm, temp ~= 78F. Fluval 204 filter, 2 powerheads, protein skimmer. We feed them one frozen pellet of marine sponge etc mix & a few flakes nightly.
I know we're a bit overcrowded, but returning a fish is not an option now.
