kathiej Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 My Black angel is still lying on its side with the occasional bursts of energy. This is week tree or four. Just read a book on diseases in fish that "Deep Angelfish" can get a herpes virus. "Affected fish show a loss of balance, spiralling behaviour and death" It is the closest symptoms I can find to what my angelfish is doing except it is still alive and doesn't seem to sprial so much as just fall over and lie there. So I don't even know if this is the problem, Any one know anything about the disease. Of course the book doesn't say if there is a treatment for it either.

Caryl Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Sorry nobody has been able to come up with any suggestions as to what it might be kathiej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathiej Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Oh well thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. In the end I went with the last one and put him to bed in a bag of water on the freezer. It gave me a very bad night, so I took some 4.9% canned pain killers so I could get some sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it very hard to euthanise a fish too, I usually get my partner to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathiej Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Lucky you. I'm the one who gets to deal with the sick dying and dead. Horses, cattle run over dog & cats and of course fish.... He just digs the holes with the digger and keeps the beer coming so I've got something to cry into....... :-?
