My Flame Angel, Flash, has been in the 90 g FOWLR (50-55 lbs) for about 4 weeks. Although he eats well and he has become very active in the tank, his physical appearance has deteriorated. Color has faded (virtually no purple can be seen), fins are a bit ragged, and he has a single, fuzzy looking, small white substance behind a fin. Since I added a 6 Line Wrasse a week ago the Flame follows him around--inviting him to clean him up! He did the same with a Royal Gramma.
I have been feeding Flash primarily a frozen variety pack (with green cubes in it) along with an occasional frozen MS.
Water conditions appear to be excellent. Readings of 0 for all but ATES (20) and PH is perfect.
I think that I need to either dip Flash (not done previously) or put him in QT. Any thoughts? Could lack of fresh "greens" be causing the color fade? His tank mates are currently 2 PC, 1 RG, 1 6L Wrasse, and some TS and HCs.
