Eyad Jamus Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Need help. My son just lost an Angel fish that I believe had Velvet disease. He added Blue Planet Multi cure which is a malachite green medicine, meant to treat white spot, Velvet disease and Fungal diseases. He also turned up the heat to 29°c and added 1 table spoon of Aquarium salt per gallon of water. This didn't work as he lost the fish. Today his Ram has the same white marks on his head as well as the red mark (see picture). Is this infact Velvet disease (spots too long and protruded to be ick) or is it something else?

Keeg Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Sounds like hole in the head disease, treat with ParaCleanse and ich-x to be safe. Velvet usually leaves a rusty/ shiny dust on the fish, was that present? And do you have water parameters? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 That doesn't look like velvet I would treat with ick x and paracleanse that @Keeg suggested I would treat with paracleanse in food that way you can do the daily water changes that ick x requires without affecting paracleanse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyad Jamus Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 The Rams poo is normal though. I don't think it is internal parasites to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the start of hole in the head you won't get stringy white poop with that metronidazole and praziquantel are the recommended treatment are the active ingredient in paracleanse and general cure ick x will cover against any secondary fungal infection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
