OK got the angelfish photo!
Had the opportunity to check out the pics in your file. Would first like to mention that I did not expect the wound to be quite so large, although it seems to be under control as far as not getting infected. The second area I noticed was that large mark behind the eye, which you’ve clarified as being a missing scale (or scales), and therefore would seem not to be of concern. There is some random spotting here and there throughout, but without very much definition its impossible for me to determine if they’re on the fish or on the glass. Just as Lenny asks, I too was curious as to whether this appeared on the fish, as salt-like granuals — which you’ve confimed.
This being the case, it would seem as though the fish has contracted Ich. Two questions of mine here are; what is the temperature in the main tank? And, what is the temperature in the quarantine/hospital tank? I realize this wound would be causing the fish some stress, but this should not drop his immunity system to the point where he’d get Ich. I’ll cover more on this in the next post. Ray
