thanks but the flame is dead, i have 2 cleaner shrimp which i see them clean the potters angel but as we only have had the falme for 5 days havent seen him get cleaned, we only noticed that he had it yesterday and he died during that night, is it possible that the water spot has found a new host fish. i have not seen any fish with whitespot yet so hopefully it hasnt, a QT is out of the question as my dad has just bought a nano for his privite dentist waiting room and he hasnt put water in it yet. thanks for all your help and i may need more i will keep this up to date
I'd wait about 20 or 30 days to be sure. Crypt can keep up on you and blow up over night. It's one of those things that is always in there, but usually the fish can fight it off. It shows when fish are under added stress or somehow suffer a weakend immune system.
yeah we new how he had it as he ws put into a tank with another dwarf angel so the was a bit of a scrap
argh.... the blennie died today, it look fine during the day and at night it started to look ill but no spots visable. my dad says the is no real cure you just have to hope and wait it out but he could loose all of his fish and if that happens that sucks i think the must be a cure
