Flame Angel WHITE LIPS Help!

Bmgrocks · 03/31/2007, 04:52 PM

Recently Purchased Flame angel, very healthy, vibrant, feeds great, perfect example of the species, Had added him after a month of quartine at my LFS......yeah, i actually waited a month......

Get him home to my tank and with in a week, his top lip has turned WHITE?!

He does pick at the rocks a whole lot
He still eats very well, Feeding Formula 2 and NLS, Mysis
Active, Clear Eyes, Great Color

His Top Lip has simply turned White.....Is it a Fungal Infection??

What should I DO

I'm not sure what that is....but I did have a flame angel that had the same thing happen. I noticed the lips first and then it slowly moved to other places of it's body. Within a day and a half it was swimming around upside down until it eventually died.

Sorry I hope it isn't the same thing!
