I bought two angels today and one of them is lying on it's side sort of occasionally flapping.
Ive had the same tank for about a year and all the other fish have never had a problem.
Meh. :( is there anything I can do to save it?
 
Meh Now the Mollies are hastling it. It just tried to eat a bloodworm. But it's still floating upside-down and sulking. it's little friend is okay. a bit stressed from travel but nonetheless eating and swimming.
i dont know the ammonia and nitrate stats but the tank is 4ft wide, 15 deep and 15 tall and well planted with about 10 neons, couple of mollies, guppies and platies and a few peppered catfish and some glass catfish. Ive just treated them for whitespot with no losses. so it cant be that because it looked ill in the bag then sort of gave up when released. It has moved a little but not much. Dunno.
 
I am not an expert of the matter of fish ill ness. But I remember the time when I got 3 Angels at the auction. And when I got home, 1 of them is kind of start swimming sideway. I did add extra oxygen by adding airstone and she recovered. Apparently, I believe she was deplevated oxygen because it took longer to get home from auction than buyinh fish at store and come home directly.
Anyway, I don't think it would hurt by adding extra oxygen. So I'll say you can add extra airstone or powerhead, maybe. And do some water change to get more oxygen in the water.

BTW, you better watch for the Angel fish when they get older and bigger there is a chance of eating poor Neons. :no:
 
Not sounding good if the fish is up side down sorry.
Don't feed bloodworms for a few days try shelled peas.
Never buy fish without knowing your water stats.
Take a sample of your water to the lfs and tell them to write the readings down for you.
What was the ph of the store to your tank, and how long did you climatise them for.
