Could use some advice. A few days ago, charcoal the angelfish developed small white dots, 4 on either side of his head, that were cottony growths. Used Pimafix for 4 days, a melafix 1 day, then pimafix again and the dots seemed to fade, but not disappear. Last night I discovered he had a distended, 1/2 inch, white, almost bumpy growth. I did not redose with pima or melafix, unsure if it was the cause, or what.
Today, the distended bulge has become an abscess that extends a 1/4 inch into his head, and is torn off completlely. He's still alive, there's no sign he's feeling ill, but he is. I took a couple photos, i apologize for the blurryness. Has anyone seen this before? what can i treat the tank with?
Shadow, the female angel, now has the small white dots up her face and i'm worried about the same happening to her.
