Also his stomach appears to be sunken in, once a week i feed frozen blood worm, which i did on saturday, I saw him eat a few, could he have developed parasites or something?

 

[Tolak]

What are you feeding besides the bloodworms, how often do you feed, has the fish been eating, defecating and behaving normally?

 

[AnimalHouse36]

They recieve bloodwords once a week, i try to give them peas once a week, then they get common fish flakes a day or two(I know they aren't the best, but i had just put an order in for some good new life spectrum fishfood), and shrimp or algae wafers the other days, and 1 fasting day.

I always see the Angel grabbing at least a few bites of the flakes, multiple bloodwords, and hes the first to go after the wafers and pellets. I can't say I've noticed him defecating....as in ever. Saturday the fish was fine, snatching up all the food, swimming around fine. Yesterday I wasn't home so I couldn't say. Today I came ome and bam, he looks like he's near death.

I'd get a quar tank going for him, bring the temperature up to 80F. Odd that he appears to be eating fine, but ends up with a sunken stomach, with internal parasites they often slow down eating or stop all together. I can't see any of the fish in your sig causing a problem as far as aggression, I've seen the occasional bristlenose get out of line, but usually it's a bigger male having a territory issue at the bottom. With the quar tank it does eliminate one variable, that being tankmates.

just saw a few of my golden barbs nipping at him....
got him acclimating to the quarantine tank as we speak. I really hope he makes it, he's a beautiful fish.
