French Angels seem to be susceptiable to Lymphocystis (I have seen 3 recently all suffering with this). it is a viral infection, affected fishes may recover spontaneously or may waste away. Improving tank conditions often induces self-healing. Treatment of viral infections is always uncertain. Symptoms are Cauliflower like growths appear on body and fins. They may develop over a period of weeks. In the case of the three I saw (this was a few months back at lfs) two recovered on their own one did not (of course the one that didn't was the baby one I bought and lost after a few months). In talking with the owner he said that for some reasons most of the French Angels he gets seem to develop this condition after a few weeks but in most cases with clean water and feeding them some life line green food they kick it off.
