OK got the angelfish photo!
The white specks on him did have a consistency of a sugar granuale so my first impression was Ick. The injury behind his eye is a missing scale. Any other spots are just overexposure like the one in front of his eye. There is really nothing there. After reading the link that you posted and searching online, I am even more unsure as what to do. Metronidazole is not easy to obtain as no LFS have it by me. I didnt even waste my time with Petco/Petsmart etc. My vet hospital doesn’t have the expertise to treat fish. BTJs wanted to sell me the same tank buddies I already have! To me it seems to be a try anything disease or a sit and wait disease? So far he is eating and not shying away. When I open the hood he is waiting for food. Any ideas for the next step?
