Help Flame Angel Sick

[falconut]

I've had my Flame Angel in QT for 3 - 4 weeks now. Eating everything and looking great, then yesterday his one eye swells up. Now today he looks really pale and his side fins are frayed.

He is in a 10 gal. tank, with a leather frag, kenya tree frag, a xenia frag and the only other fish is a blue/green chromis. The only thing I added was the Xenia about 4 - 5 days ago.

Does anybody know what this could be? Do I need to medicate? I did do a 1 gal. water change. Any ideas?

Do a 2 minute FW dip in a clear container. See if any really small jelly like creatures (skin flukes) are there after the dip.

OK. I'll have to try that.

remove to a QT and medicate with maracyn II, that stuff is awesome and has saved many of my wildcaught fish.
