I just purchased 2 new baby angels today. Before putting them in the water I checked my parameters and i have 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite. I changed the water and substrate before putting them in for weekly maintenance, put in stress coat, then opened up the bag from the fish store to set them free.
For several hours they were both fine. Schooling, not eating yet but acting 100% normal for angelfish. Only fish that isn't exclusively sitting on the bottom so lots of space in a 55gal tank.
Currently, one is fine and the other is on the opposite side of the tank, hovering at the top like he is suffocating. But, that can't be the case. My water is well circulated with 2 filters, and I have a bubble disk and a few air stones. Also, I'd expect that to affect multiple fish. I tried feeding him and he was disinterested, but kept hovering at the top. What could be going on? Is there anything I can do???
Thank you
