I know this is a saltwater discussion and all but I have yet to convert so I still have a freshwater tank. My problem is I just bought 4 juv angel fish from my lfs to put in my 75 gal tank. I have a few other small fish in with them. Well yesterday morning one of the new angel fish died, everything else looked fine and my ph and ammonia levels were perfect so I just figured maybe it was sick. Well This morning I see another of the juv angels at the bottom not able to move. Upon further inspection I noticed a white moldy looking substance on the fish. I looked at the other two angel fish and one had some but not much on him. The other fish seem normal and don't have any signs of this, anyone know what this could be? Also, should I seperate the remaining two angle fish or not? Once again, I know this is a freshwater question but I am hoping that someone can help

If you have a sepaarate tank that you can isolate these fish in, then do that and treat with both fungal and bacterial infection. Mardel medication products are compatable, so I'd use these. You can also try to take them back, as Puffer suggests. If you can't remove the fish, then treat the tank they are in as prescribed here and hope for the best.
