Angel

Hi all, i have a large angel fish and have had him some time, but think sometimes he is abit strange as he kinda swims slightly on his side, he is in very good health and seems to be eating very well and so on.
Is this just due to his size or is it a bad thing? He is approx 5"x 4"
Thanx

Heh. They often do this while resting. Its nothing to be worried about. Chack them out at night when they have stopped moving around much. When i first got into this hobby I thought they were dead!

So yeh... nothinng to worry about.

Many thanx.

What do you feed the fish, i would try some shelled peas, swimming to one side can be bacterial or fish parasites, so also look for signs of flicking and rubbings, any laboured breathing.
