hey guys i have a litttle story and question. the week before thanks givving i go to my lfs to get some food,water,coral, and i c this beautiful flame angel fish that i saw there the previous week. i asked the people to please feed it so i could make sure it would eat and sure enough it did. i come home aclimate it ect.. lights left of for about 3hrs. everything is going good im givving it nori soaked in its food with garlic and feeding him with the other fish which are 3 yellow tail damsels and 3 domino damsels 3 times a day. the flame always has a strip of nori avaiable and eats it. well today i noticed he has some white speckes on him primarialy on the very ends of his fins . right when i saw that i crushed up some garlc and feed him. he eats like a pig nd is fat and happy,never gets dominated by the damsels. params are literally perfect. idk what to do besides hope he passes and get over it because to me there is no sence in qting him if hes eating like a pig. does anyone know of any other supplements i could be givving him to ensure his general health and help fight off the ick? thxs guys (btw i have another flame in my dads tank so i did not just impulsively buy this fish)

You could try Seachem Metronidazole. You simply sprinkle it onto the food, then feed the fish. Plus it's reef safe. I used it in mine over 1-1/2 years ago and it worked for my angel. Just a suggestion.

If you didn't quarantine the fish I would say that is why you are having provlems. Not trying to be a jerk but I treat all my new fish as if they are sick until I know otherwise.
