Hey Everyone, my we’ve run started picking up what looks like ink, but some stuff on his face as well. I have ICHx is it ok to add to display tank? The angelfish I have with him are all good. Water parameters are in check as well

Looks like ich. Ok to add ichx to tank. Would increase your water changes to weekly. Mouth always open like that? Looks off. duanes thinks about the mouth.

Hey thank you for the response, yeah his mouth was always open, he has a deformity. I actually added him to a 20 gallon quarantine tank. I was afraid if ICHx would affect the beneficial bacteria in the main tank, but guess it doesn’t. Next time I’ll keep that in mind. Today he is very sluggish, just laying in one spot . I hope he gets better, but looks like I acted on it too late. Hopefully with the added aeration and ICHx he pulls through.
