White Patch on fish, HELP

[CCXGT]

Well I'm having a new issue..

I did get my first 6 Mbunas:
3 Yellow Labs
3 Yellow Tail Acei

5 of them are doing fine but one Acei hurt it's fin (either on a rock or in a fight).

I did treat the tank with Aquarium Salt and Stress Coat and the fish is swimming about a bit, although it is getting picked on a bit.

Anyways... The Acei now has a white patch on it's damaged fin side and I'm not too sure what's going on.

Attachment 239540

As you can see, it has spread quite a way.

Any help is massively appreciated.

It may be Ich a parasite that attacks the fins/gills of a fish. It is treatable, but google other images of Ich to double check thats what it is. If it is confirmed as that, isolate the sick fish, and treat both the tank, and the isolated fish, asap.

The fish died overnight, both of its sides looking absolutely destroyed.

I think it was getting very badly picked on, I don't have a hospital tank set up for disasters like this.
Probably idiotic on my part.



Nasty shock this morning. 😞
