My angelfish is sick symptoms visible are:

+Clamped fins
+Some darting
+Flicking/Rubbing against plant

Some redness on body (although this is more visible than before as it has a white body). I have illustrated in diagram below where i can see the redness.

Please bear in mind my angel is not this colour.

The red in this is OTT - but it will help show the location of the redness.

I have done water changes as normal, all other fish are fine. This angel has started to be bullied by a (becoming) agressive Bolivian Ram.


I have treated it with the recommended dosage of Intepret Anti Bacterial.

Is this the right med and how often should I dose? The instructions are not clear on this point.

Please provide guidance. Thanks,
 
Flicking, darting, and clamping appeared in my tank. Treat for parasites now or you will be in the same boat as me... and you don't want to be here mate. I also have split fins, which let me to conclude flukes. Some other members more knowledgeable than I (or old posts) can help you figure out what type of parasite you have before you begin treatment.
 
Is it possible to load a pic up of the sick fish.

Any red sores or red pin prick marks on the fish.

Water stats would be good.

Redness can be bacterial, septicemia, parasites.
