Hi everyone. I just want to first thank everyone who will comment with advice on what I should do to save my angelfish. I love them dearly and I would hate for any of them to die.
Aquarium: 135 Gallon Planted Tank
Species:
5 Koi Angelfish,
6 Blue Ghost Angelfish
1 Pinoy Blue Angelfish
5 Zebra Angelfish
4 Ghost Angelfish
South American Bumblebee Catfish. German Blue Rams, Neon tetras, Mollies and Platies and Cories
They all have been living happily for about 2 weeks now in their new 135G tank.
Four days ago, I introduce 2 healthy-looking South American Bumblebee Catfish into the aquarium without proper quarantine which i think is the source of the disease that is now carried its way to my angelfish. I am still beating myself for not quarantining them beforehand. Most of the Big Angelfish looks perfectly fine, its just the smaller angelfish thats are showing the symptoms.
Symptons:
- Clamped fins
- Shaking head erractically
- Ventral Fin Twitching
- Weird Swimming pattern
- 2 angelfishes have a whitish/greyish film all over the body.
- One angelfish and some mollies stayed in one spot near the top of the water while some angelfish stayed near the ground in one spot.
- Their skins also seem to be sticky because debris and tiny air bubble would seem to stick to their skins easily.
The Rams, Cories, Neon Tetras and the Bigger angelfishes looks perfectly fine. EVERYONE are eager to eat when I come close to the tank.
Is some sort of external, parasitic, protozoan disease?
Please help me figure out what is wrong with them and let me know the best medicine I can buy at like Petsmart to start treating them. I know I have plant in the aquarium. Its okay if the medicine kills the plants.
Steps I have taken: I have did a 50% water change just now waiting for your advice on how to treat them.
Please save my fish!! YOUR ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
