Tsarmina Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 bailey (and i) would like to know what the problem could be with 1 of his angels. since he got it, it has barely grown, and tonight i noticed that it is swimming nose up and has trouble righting itself. it is currently in a net on its own. the other 2 are perfectly fine, eating heaps and growing huge. i have told bailey that he may end up losing it, but would like to confirm with others that this is the case. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 could be swim bladder problems :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishkeepa Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I lost an angel like that about a month after i brought it. How long have you had it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 he got it on the 21st september (his birthday) they were all young when we got them, but the others are now twice the size he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarBoy Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 tsa if he dose lose it ig to 2 big 1's you can buy if you want them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Is it being picked on by the others. Angels have a pecking order and it could be at the bottom of the pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Also not all fish grow at the same rate. I have platties that are twice the size of their siblings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Head up swimming can indicate gill flukes---is it "breathing" fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 no sign of heavy breathing, though it is now swimming sideways, nose up, upside down, etc. should i let it continue on this way, or would it be best to speed up the process (putting it as nicely as possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 probably wouldnt of made it this far in the wild ,survival of the fittest sad but true whats your opinion do you think the fish is suffering ? if so you know what to do :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 well, no need for me to do anything. just checked on the angel and it was dead. bailey is a little upset, but knew that this would probably happen. thanks all for you time and advice.
