EMERG: flame angel dying... :(

[burtonboi]

Hi can anyone help please? I bought a flame angel about a week ago. He seemed to be doing great. My coral beauty chased him the first day but they got along fine after that. He did develop some ich a few days ago. But I had noticed it was all gone by yesterday. This morning I found him on the bottom of the tank breathing heavy. No signs of disease or battle wounds. Please what can I do to save him??? He's currently in QT

if he showed signs of ich then your whole tank has ich, either he brought it in or the tank had it and he got it now with the stress of everything. You need to QT all of your fish not just the flame angel and treat with

Copper
Hypo salinity
Tank Transfer

Unfortunately the ich doesn't just go away and will get worse until treated

Ich seems to affect the gills of fish first.
You might try a fresh water dip just to give some relief. Make sure the ph is the same. Watch the angel for signs of stress when dipping in fresh water and remove if so warranted.

Where's you get the flame?
