if there is little salt looking spots on the fish than its ich i suggest buying tetra brand ich tablets or turn your heater up to 80 or more degress to kill the sickness

Raise temp to 86f and do daily wcs on ur tank till ich is gone and then do it for 1 more week to make sure its. U can buy meds for it but i personally lose more fish wen i use meds but thats just me lots of ppl have had good results using meds.

Thanks guys Idk if it's ich because I couldn't tell if it was just the angelfish's skin or ich cuz I had ich before but it was way smaller spots

I like Peter's advice, but make sure the water is at least 86F.

I always use meds in conjunction with the heat but I'm starting to think Peter's method may be preferable.

there are some garlic additives that are out there. ive never used it but my buddy just had ich and used it said it worked pretty well in addition I told him to bump up his temp. also there is a variation of full life spectrum food that has garlic in it a great preventative to parasites!!!
