Hi,

My mum has a sick angelfish in her tank. It hasnt eaten for 4 days, likes to stay in the corner of the tank, and opens and closes its mouth a lot. its body has nothing on it, no spots etc, fins are all good. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it, or if it should get treatment? everyone else in the tank (theres 1 other angelfish and 4 other smaller fish) are very healthy. the tank has had regualar water changes.

Any help would be appreciated : )

Is it possible it is being harrassed by the other angel?

Hi,

It doesnt seem to be getting picked on by the other angel. its a 200L tank so there is enough room for it to get away if needed and the others wont be bullying it as they are small community fish.

I am with Caryl, sounds like it is stressed out. Especially if hanging in a corner & breathing heavy. The only other thing is flukes, but others should be showing the same signs{heavy breathing}

Frenchy

What do I do with it? Do i just leave it to come right or should it be taken out of the tank? (it could go in my tank, but its a 1/2 drive and my tank is full of community fish so im not sure that would be an option) Mum would hate to lose the fish, especially since they are the main attraction of the tank : )

How well planted is it? Provide a lot of plant cover and see if that helps

there are a few plants but only short ones. i will buy some bigger plants tomorrow and put them in. thanks heaps for help : )

A lot more plant will help the angel feel more secure and hopefully perk up a bit.
