Bless him R.I.P.
Floating on there sides can be bacterial, internal parasites.
Does the angel look bloated or skinny.
What do you feed your fish.
Can the fish maintain it's balance in the water.
Does the fish headstand or turn upside down.
What does it look like when the fish goes to the toillet.
Just check the anus to see if it's enlarged or red and inflamed.

Is it possible to turn flow down on filter.

Does the angel look bloated or skinny. looks perfectly normal
What do you feed your fish. hikari micro pellets and interpet freeze dried blood worms
Can the fish maintain it's balance in the water. no
Does the fish headstand or turn upside down. yes
What does it look like when the fish goes to the toillet. ive never seen them poo
Just check the anus to see if it's enlarged or red and inflamed. no

Don't feed for a few days.
Diet needs improving of more variety in frozen foods like brime strimp and daphnia.
Feed some peas and introduce more green veg into there diet.

i think the remaining one is dying :bye:

ill feed shelled peas

Sounds like you got a bad batch.
When you buy new fish it's best to worm them in quarantine.
I would turn filter flow down if he's stuggling to stay upright.
If you can't turn filter flow down just put some netting over filter flow with a rubber band. That should slow it down abit.

ive isolated him in the floating breeding net i have and ive turned of the power head

 

[WILDER]

Ok.
How long did you climatise them for.
There isn't much you can do really, only try some peas.
If he get's better worm him.
But once fish start turning upside down the outcome dosn't look promising.
Swim bladder can be caused by bad water quality, unstable temp, poor diet, injury, deformed swim bladder, internal parasites, bacterial.

Don't turn powerhead off as after so long the beneifical bacteria will start to die off.
Is there anyway you can put some netting on the outflow tube.

2 hours using the drip method,
temp is a stable 25oC no physical injuries

Just try some peas for now if he's still eating.

hes not touched them, so annoyed i might ring the LFS tommorow and see if any of the other angels in that tank have died, i spent £20 on these so i dont see why i shouldnt get a refund

 

[WILDER]

When did they start to swim on there sides.
To be honest it sounds like the second angel won't make it either.

 

[Truck]

if the LFS are having problems with theres what er the odds in your opinion of a refund?

 

[WILDER]

if there angels are swimming on there sides at the lfs they should give you a refund.
It can be swim bladder, bacterial, internal parasites.
Did they catch the angels roughly with the net.

Contact tolak he keeps angels and knows alot about them.
