Help me diagnose my Regal Angel
I picked up a Red Sea Regal Angel on Wendesday, at which time he looked fine. I had been watching him at the LFS for 6 weeks. He was eating fine at the time I got him and still is. Its chest and ventral fins are yellow and yesterday I noticed some redness on his chest at the base of his ventral fin. It was kind of hard to see as it was underneath the folded up ventral fin. Today when I got home from work I noticed that the redness was more then twice as big, and the area looked slightly swollen. Upon close examination it doesn't appear to be an external thing, but something inside. Like I stated before his eating is still good. I have been feeding homemade fish food, dosed with fresh garlic, selcon and vitachem. Since this has manifested only 3 days after I got him, is this something he had when I got him?
My water parameters are: Temp- 80.9, ph- 8.4, alkalinity 2.0, ammonia- 0, nitrite-0, nitrate- between 5 and 10, phosphates- 0.
The tank is 180, with a refugium, chaeto, LR. I am also running carbon now. Can anyone tell me what this might be. I'm sending a picture, sorry for the poor quality.
