I have an angel fish, who has what looks like white spot. But on closer inspection, it appears to be damage to the scales. Like, it looks a bit like the scales have got a bit damaged and then got a fungus on them. But the fungus isn't like 'normal' fungus, looking fluffy like cotton wool. It's very small and localised to each specific scale - hence looking a bit like white spot.
When I first got this fish I assumed that it was physical damage from thrashing about in it's bag, and it would clear up on it's own. But it seems to have spread a little bit, so now I'm not to sure it's physical damage.
It's definately not white spot. I've had this fish in my tank for weeks now and none of the other fish have caught it. It doesn't flick itself against things like it has an itch. I've also seen white spot before many times (I worked in my LFS) and this is not white spot.
None of the other fish are catching it, including the other angels.
Any ideas? I'm thinking of putting some melafix in. So unless anyone thinks of anything else it might be, I'll do that.
