Mystery angelfish parasite/growth
Hello there folks, I have a little problem with a large angelfish at
the pet shop... we have him in an isolation tank in our back room... he has what appears to be miniscule grains of rice stuck all over him. They are white, oblong, and probably about the size of this dash " - ". For those of you with huge monitors, about 1/8 of an inch. We've thrown every medication we have at it and it has had no effect.... antifungals, antibacterials, antibiotics, antiparasitics... jungle, mardel, aquarium pharmaceuticals, you name it. Aside from these spots, the angelfish appears to be in good health and has a hearty appetite. I've looked in every disease reference we have and haven't been able to identify this problem, any advice that you guys could offer me would be appreciated.

If you have any way to get digital pics and post them it would probably help a lot. dwhite
