Ich or velvet?

Just pulled him out for a freshwater bath. What's next if velvet? Dealt with ich before this seems different and I don't want it plaguing my tank.

Well established. Never had many issues all parameters test fine. I've heard somewhat common on these particular angels but have zero experience with this fish.

if it is in your main tank you are in trouble. For velvet I use paraguard and for ich cupramine.

People will also use, formalin or CP but those are hard to find where I live.

Your main tank will need to go completely cashless for 8 weeks regardless if it's ich or velvet. The parasite needs a fish to host so removal of all fish are necessary to clear the tank of the parasite.

The fish will need treatment in a hospital tank.
