hyjinx Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 this fish has always been a bit odd it is quite sulky so the other angels eventualy started to make it stay in one corner of the tank. so i moved him to a tank with other fish that dont bother him but he likes to lie on it side and hide in the tank under and in plants but sometimes it will come in the open and lie down covering its face with a leaf, sometimes it will lie for a while there so i think its dead and then touch it but it swims off and swims normaly near bottom of tank and hides again. i have seen it swiming slownly and more normal like the other fish, around early in the morning when its quite dark but it doesnt all the time. any idears on what it could be ? if not hes just a strange depressed angel fish.

Caryl Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 If it has always been like that I suspect genetics or something going wrong when it was growing. It it is otherwise OK and feeds OK then I would not worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 It is a hard decision to make as how do you know if it is in pain? Do the other fish bully it at all? If it appears stressed at all then I would euthanase it. It must eat at some point or it would not last too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Depends how luxurious your dog box is. I would always put a fish down if it is incurable and not well at all (which is what yours sounds like). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
