Fin Rot -Angelfish

[Novice]

Hello everyone and thanks for taking the time to assist me. I've had my 220 litre tank for about 6 weeks. I have 2 gorami's, 10 neon tetras and 6 angels in the tank.The temp is always around 25.5 - 26 degrees. I've done a 20% water change each Friday since establishing the tank. Last weekend I did a filter clean as well. I feed every second to third day with pellets. One of my angels has what I believe is very bad fin rot. How shall I treat this poor guy? Are the others at risk of catching it? Thanks again.

What are your tank parameters ie pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate? Six weeks is pretty new for a tank and I wonder if in fact fin rot is ammonia burn.

Finrot is often caused by poor water conditions as well. Normally if the tank is kept healthy it will resolve itself.

Thanks for the response. I don't have a kit to test the water yet. I will drop into Hollywood Fish Farm tomorrow with a water sample and pick one up. But for now, I have a picture on my iPad. How do I load it up?
