Help! Juvenile French Angel Disease

@Chris Palm The good news is your other fish are most likely NOT in danger of a bacterial infection. A fish's natural immune system is much better equipped to fight off harmful bacteria than it is parasites. And bacterium don't have the never ending life cycle that parasites do, it's usually just a one & done encounter with the fish. Most of the time, fish only get bacterial infections when their immune system has already been compromised by fighting off a preexisting parasitic infestation. The immune system can handle one or the other - parasites or bacteria - but not both.

But do keep the antibiotics handy and a watchful eye on all your fish just in case I am wrong.
