Hi All,
I have a recent new shoal of angels in a 60 gallon tank. All are similar in size, got them all within 2 days of each other (two I had to drive an hour away for (green BSPs), so couldn't get them all at the exact time. One doesn't seem to be growing much, has never eaten much and now isn't eating at all. It's a leopard blue spotted angel (overbred?). Others are all thriving. I work at home a lot and my tank is set up where I can view the tank all the time, they're being angelfish territorial, but not over the top at all and none are picking on this one - seems like they 'get it'. Parameters are:
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0-5
Chlorine 0
PH 7
I just wonder if this is a failure to thrive situation? I hate to put the little stunted thing into a hospital tank and stress it. There's no apparent sign of disease or injury, I do water changes weekly - it just wanders about like a little zombie. I'm not hesitant about euthanizing it if that's the best course, but want to also give it a chance.
