Angel Fish Fin Problem?

[rocknurworld2006]

my angelfishes pectoral fins crossed over in the process of been transferred from tank to tank, it has been like this for a couple of weeks now and was wondering will it stay like this for good and is there anything that i can do??

Do u mean the pelvic fin? (those long fins) or pectoral (the ones at the sides?) i don't see how pectoral fins could cross over??? can you explain it a little more? if the pelvic fins are crisscrossed i wouldn't worry unless the fish seems distressed. How big is the angel? I don't recommend manually trying to straighten things out cause u might do more damage. Hope it gets itself sorted out.

pelvic fins sorry

i'd say just leave it alone unless u notice behavioral changes w/ the fish. Do the angels still move their pelvic fins around. (did they use to?...u know flicker it from time to time) has it stopped doing that? if is was some damage, they should heal fast if they are healthy. I'm not sure they will straighten up again if it was broken a one point. Keep observing it but personally i think he's fine as there is really nothing you can do about it.
