Angel - Not Behaving Normal

[fearce]

Today, iv noticed, my angelfish not behaving normal. bit quite.... and just hanging around, but still strong agressive feeding. Also noted long string faeces(poo) lol!.


Could it be constipation, if so, would reduced feeding for a day help or what?

Other angel although smaller is fine.

Any help appreciated.

What color poop?

Long stringy poo is usually due to a bacterial infection or parasites or stress or not feeding very well, so need to have a look at each of those to eliminate. Is the poo white or normal in colour?
Any new fish added in the last two weeks? Its not being picked on that youve noticed?

Seen normal poo, but last noticed was white.

feeding well still.

yes new fish have been added, but definate no bullying. As this angel is king/queen of the tank.


regualr feed flakes. also king british bloodworms, and high proteein mini mini pellets - really small.

white means the blood cells are being shed so theres something going on. Does the fishes general body weight look good? Its not eating loads and still looking skinny?
Try starving the whole tank for a day and then feeding something easily digestable like bloodworm for a day.
Do a large water change involving a good gravel and moving any ornaments around to clean underneath in case its a bacterial infection.
