Does the fish rub itself against rocks or other hard surfaces? It almost looks like scrathing up against things.
Like this...notice the one fish who keeps rubbing itself on the substrate...

Oh, no its not, ive been treating with Para Guard, it has that Malachite green in it. A few fish died the first week, clown loachs, catfish, and a rummy nose tetra, but nothing has died in about 5 days, but it will not go away on that Angel.
The malachite green can be harsh on fish. I have luckily only had to use it once...but the salt heat cure seems to work very well and is not so harsh on the fish IME.
I know its harsh, i believe the treatment is responsible for my catfish death, but i started with the salt/heat treatment and and ran out of salt, 120 gal... its cheaper to treat it like this but you can bet when its cured I will be stocked on salt.
