babymama Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 hey Guys, I have an angel fish that is really puzzling me and i cant tell if ther is something wrong with the fish or if it is crazy or just trying to just make me crazy. for about 2 months now it had started to "play dead" from sitting upside down in plants to lying motionless on the bottom of the tank and acting contorted next to the filter. but as soon as i put a net or my hand into the tank it swims around with lots of life. its eating fine and plays with the others it just has these moods. has anyone had this happen to them or have any advice? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Could possibly be internal parasites? Check its Gills for parasites; does it scrape itself against the gravel? Does it have rapid gill movement? Need a bit more info on its behaviour if that is possible. Cheer Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babymama Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 no there are no parasites and it does not scrape itself. is it possible that it is just tired? its body is about the size of a 20c peice but it has extremly long fins that it often looks as it is stugling to swim. is this a possibility?

livebearer_breeder Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Of Coarse its a Possibility, but i very much Doubt it. I wonder how you know that it is not Internal Paracites? Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
