BenA Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Afternoon/morning all. Few days ago I have spotted a white dot on one of my Angel's body, today, while cleaning and changing water I have spotted another on the gills cover, size wise they are the size of a pin head and slightly raised from the body of the fish, the other fish (its mate) is clean. There are no other symptoms or markings on the fish. These are the only 2 fish in a 10gl. tank. Water parameters are all '0' with Nitrite at 50ppm. Any idea? Thanks.

Guppysnail Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Do you mean-nitrate 50? If it actually nitrite do water changes. Raised white dots are indicative of ich. Treatment ich x. I have no personal experience with it ive always been very lucky so hopefully someone with experience can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 It sounds like Ich. Raise the water temp to somewhere between 81 and 85 degrees and keep it there. Treat for Ich, but leave your temp between the range I just covered, Ich can not survive at temps above 80 degrees, but most of our fish, including Angelfish, come from water that is much warmer than 80 degrees. Sincerely Gator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenA Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 I will try but it won't be of a good quality as I use a cell phone. Anyway, last night I saw the female hanging on her tail at a 75 degrees angle under the floating plants, she ignored the food while the male chased it so I knew that something is wrong, this morning she was dead. I have tested the water all is on '0' with Nitrate on 50ppm, no marks or damage to her body, slim was good, clear eyes and the stomach and body shape felt normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenA Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Here are 3 photos of the fish, this is the male that is still alive and eating like a pig. The spot near the tail is not very well seen but this is the dot on the black line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It doesn’t really look like Ich from my experience. Ich looks like someone salted your fish. And typically I see more spots on the fins than body. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I agree with @Mitch Norton doesn't look ich I would add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons and monitor it for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
