Hi,

Could someone please tell me whats on my angelfish? I ordered the 3 meds coop recomends but they won't be here for 3 more days and I can't wait. He's super uncomfortable and itchy. What is it and what could I get at petsmart to get rid of it. Thanks so so much!

20gal. Water within normal limits 

2 Angels, 2 bristlenose plecos, 3 corys

Ack! I'm having flashbacks. I've battle Ich twice (and have won thank you very much), my last time was with my new quarantined Otocinclus, all 6 of them had it, pic isn't great, but a lot of sources say you tend to see it on the fins mostly- as you can see while there is a dot or 2 on this adult there are also plenty on the body. If it's Ich, I'd highly recommend getting on top of that pronto. You may need to go to a lfs to buy treatment, I wouldn't wait.

Treat your tank with a fungicide to kill the fungus that causes Ich and Fin and Tail rot. Raise your water temp to between 81 and 83 degrees and keep it in that range, fungi can not live in temps above 80 degrees and 83 degrees is not hot enough to kill your fish.
