usually in real mild cases. water changes usually do wonders.. but in a few cases I will add pima/mela fix.. they can in mild cases help sooth/prevent irritations from fungal and or bacterial infection.

I think my angle fish has the same illness as yours. What did you use to get rid of the white cloudy coat over its body?
you could start your own thread. but please include water parameters, size of tank and list of tank mates. also include temp.
I had the very same symptoms with my angels, the gold more than the others. i bought two new golds from the lfs that had paired up, qt'd them, then introduced them in to my main population. they died in a few days from the symptoms. then my other angels started showing symptoms. i did the salt treatment untill i started seeing ich on my golds. afraid that i introduced other pathogens, i moved all my stock into a clean 20 gal to qt them all and started them on lifeguard all-in-one with 100% w/c every other day. its been 10 days now and no more symptoms. i bleached out my main tank and did a bleach bath at around 5-10% bleach on all my plants and substrate. im sure i killed every living organism in my tank, substrate, filters, and aparently almost all of my plants(pretty sure i used way too much bleach. now my main tank is almost done cycling (the nitrates have peaked and started coming back down). strangely many people i know with recently bough angels from many differnt locations seem to have the same symptoms. all the lfs have this problem with their angels in a 50 mile radius of me. very very strange
