I have a 30G tank with a mating pair of angels with some swordtails in it. Each time the angels lay eggs, predicatbly, they chase the other fish incessantly. It's a heavily planted tank, so it's not been a big deal till today. I saw the two angels look like they were playing ball - swimming around and around and around the tank passing something back and forth. It was small male swordtail. I distracted them with a net as soon as I saw it, and he sunk to the bottom, and started swimming in circles a bit. It took me a minute to corral the angels so I could put my hands in to get the swordtail, but I did and put him into a 2.5G hospital tank I have. I added a small filter that I keep running on a bigger tank to maintain it's cycle.
He doesn't appear to have any wounds, but he is clearly not swimming well. He may still be traumatized, though. I added a low dose of melafix, and put in some anacharis to give him some shelter, and an airstone. Anything else I should do for him?
