Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hello,
I need some help please. One of my angels started breathing heavy about a week ago. I moved it to a quarantine tank. I noticed a couple days ago red marks that developed near the mouth. I treated with API general cure. Next dose is due tomorrow. No improvement yet. The fish is swimming and eating fine. QT set at 80 degrees. I removed the carbon filter in QT.
My main tank is 150 gallon with a fluval FX canister filtration. It has been running about a year now. Water parameters all normal. I check with API water kit. PH a bit high at 8 or at least approaching 8. My local water source is always high. Temp at 80. There are 6 angels, 8 rainbows, 2 roseline sharks, a couple algae eaters, and a parrot fish.
I've had fish for a long time and I have never seen this before. The rest of my fish appear fine. I'm worried this is something that may pass from angel to angel. Has anybody seen this before? Thank you for your help?
