Disclaimer: This is my quarantine tank I keep all new fish in for four to eight weeks before they go into my 300G FOWLR display tank. The quarantine tank gets four hours of direct sunlight in the morning and four in the afternoon on the other side. I intentionally let the algae grow for my grazers (tangs and angels) but the glass gets covered within hours. Additionally, I don't run medication in quarantine, instead, I observe and determine if medication is needed. I've lost too many fish from the resulting stress of unnecessarily medicating, but I am a fan of prophylactic medications it just hasn't worked well for me. I quarantine to get new fish adjusted to my foods and make sure they are not sick. Lastly, The Blueface is skittish so I had to record this from 12 feet away hiding behind decorations. Please be kind.
Question: I have two issues with which I'm looking for help. Both issues are with my Juvenile Blueface Angelfish. The first issue is he has developed a fungus on his dorsal fins which looks like little cotton balls. Thoughts on treatment? The second issue is over the last week his body color has faded a bunch. He looks whitish. I don't know if he is starting to transform into adult colors, is it possible given he is about 2.75 inches long and thick in the body or is it related to the fungus? He eat well (frozen mysis, reef plankton, calanus all soaked in Brightwell Vitamin-M). Thoughts.
