I was walking by my tank when I noticed one of my very large angels with his head in the tube for the filter. I though he might be dead then realized he was alive but stuck. I got him free with the net but his eyes are bulged out and kinda bleeding and his mouth. What do I do???
 
He's in a mess.
Can you issolate the fish.
I would go in with a bacterial med.

I have another tank but it has been unplugged for about a week. How to I transfer him bacause doesn't he have to get used to the other water?
 
I just have trouble with angels I swear I can't keep them alive to save my life. Last night I tested my water everything was rockin. This morning found a dead angel so I went ahead and did a water change. Now their trying to commit suicide. Also the 3 left are kinda just floating at the top with their mouths out of the water. If you walk up to the tank they swim away but is this normal for angels. All the other fish are doing great.
 
Can we take a look at your water stats.
Any household chemicals got into the tank.
 
Well I don't use any chemicals in the room with the tank. stats
temp is 76
nitrites 0
amonia 0
nitrates 0
ph 7.4
 
What your tap nitrate reading, do you use live plants, as it rare to have a nitrrate reading of 0.
Any of the fish flicking and rubbing on things.
 
as for isolating the angel, if you use some of the water from the tank that it was in previously, it should be fine unless this whole thing was caused by a water problem.
 
wow! I hope I never have this problem with my angles! my suggestion is to raise the temp in the tank to about 80F, issolate the fish and use water from the original tank... Not too sure what can be done to sure this... sorry someone hopfully will know out there...
 
Well appearantly angels hate me. I did everything got him in the tank and he looked great last night. Well this morning I found him he tried to commit suicide again and succeeded. He swam half way into the tube again in the hospital tank. Don't ask me how. the tube is so small and he was huge. I don't think I am going to get angels again.
 
Sorry for your losses R.I.P.
