hey there, i moved my angel into my bigger tank yesterday (all water stats are good b4 you ask) and he wriggled around alot whilst in the net as youd expect, this morning i noticed he has some red marks on his body, mainly around his fins. i was just wondering whether anybody can confirm whether the red marks were caused by his wriggling around in the net or whether they are caused by anything else?? my other fish (dwarf gourami & 3 female guppies & 1 male guppy) are absolutely fine, and like i said, the water stats arent an issue as i check them regularly and they are all as should be expected. can anybody shed some light??

p.s - i refer to 'Boring' the angel as being male, i dont actually know whether he is though!
 
It could of been when he was in the net and his fins where hurt , was it a big net ?
 
it isnt an overly big net, but its big enough for him to fit in. if it is some sort of bruising, how long would it take for it to go down? if it would go down?
 
Also red marks can be septicemia, and to be honest it looks more like septicemia then being hurt by the net, can you issolate the fish.
 
Light koi, golds, albinos, almost any lighter colored angel will show some reddish lines at times, especially when stressed. If I get a chance I'll chase some lighter colored angels around with a net, see if I can get a pic of some healthy angels trying to imitate septicemia.
 
Lol tolak, well you never know, It was the red at the base of the fin that i was worried about as that is a sign of septicemia, but you do know your angels tolak.
 
Finally got around to downloading pics. I chased them around a little with the handle of a net.
