Hi, I was doing the usual quarentine procedure to two Angelfishes and started to observe after 5 or 6 days some small wite spots on fins of the fishes. I thought it was cryptocarium! Started treatment with Seachem`s Metronidazole along with Focus and Guarlic Guard in a medicated food mix as I have the idea that Angelfish are very sensitive to cooper and had herd that metronidazole worked quite well in mild cases of Cryptocarium.
Fishes were eating well but the spots would come and go. On morning of day 6 of treatment the two fishes looked a lot worse to me covered in small white dots so I decided to start hyposalinity lowering the salinity to 1.009 in a 48h period making water changes every 12h.
The fish seemed to respond well and were still eating well.
Two days have passed and one of the fishes died today having trouble in breading. The other one stoped eating and his fins look they are roting he is still covered in white spots and his skin looks infected. Do you think this looks more like Marine Velvet disease and that I did the wrong diagnose?
Please help!
