I have two large angels and they look like they are losing color on their scales its turning a pale color of the original scale color almost white sometimes and the one is having breathing problems and wont eat I caught the one no problem and I have him in the QT tank so..... what kind of meds should I probably use for this problem? I will be doing a 25% water change for sure tomorrow Im already all set up for that.

| Hi SaleenS7Rs,
I have some Q's
How long have you had them in the tank?
What are you feeding them?
What are your water parameters including ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, SG temp?
I note that you dont have a skimmer (in your info), how many airlines are in the tank for 02 exchange?
Have you added any new fish to the tank?
Sorry for all the Q's, but for people to help we need as much info as posible | |

| Sounds like they may have an internal parasite
is the white like splotches or patches? | |

| hello SaleenS7Rs
I have merged your two threads together, as the same question was being asked in each of the threads and to avoid duplicate replies and advice the two have been merged together. | |

You end up with either duplicate replies or none as some will see the same question already answered in another thread. It really does not help with getting more replies.
All new threads and posts are located on one page anyway. By clicking on 'new posts' at the top of every page, you will come to a long list of all the new threads and posts. You really do not have to go into any specific category this way. Most folks use this method to scan all the new threads coming in and saves time from having to go to specific category forums.
hope this helps!  | |

| With the angels not breathing well,increase the circulation,to increase the oxygen in the water.
I would think the parasite called marine Oodinium,may be suspect. (discoloration,white patches,not eating,not breathing well) The best treatment would be copper sulfate (I don't like using copper based medications) but,if it's that serious,then a serious medication will be required.It is a type if ICH or known as Coral fish disease,and it spreads rapidly.If a couple have it,then I would treat all fish. | |

| Keep them quarantined for a week or 2 AFTER they appeared to improve.A lot of people make the mistake of seeing them better,then return them to the main aquarium.Make sure to provide lots of aeration to increase oxygen while medicating. good luck | |
