My Angelfish is dying! I need help!

Mellymae · 03-30-2009, 04:41 AM

Please Help!!! When i came home today my angel was on its side at the bottom. it will swim around but only on its side. I know it is dying because I brought it home with another angel and that one died the day after it arrived home. Its been two weeks since then. What could be wrong. I have two other angels and they are fine!!!
Have I done something wrong? I dont know anything about the ph level.
Can i save it?

You would need to provide a full set of parameters of your tank and it's water conditions for anyone to be able to offer a solution to your problem. PH, Nitrites, Amonia, etc. How long has the tank been set up? What is the temprature? How many fish do you have in the tank? What size tank do you have?

Anyone that would offer advice solely based on your question alone would not be good advice because you didn't provide any information to assess the situation.

If you can, we need a list of the following things to properly help you:
A list of your water parameters, including:
ammonia
nitrites
nitrates
pH
temperature

Also needed:
The size of your tank
other inhabitants
age of the tank
How did you acclimate the fish to your aquarium?

Without any of this information, it could be any number of things affecting your angelfish and we have no way of knowing.

Are your other 2 angels bullying them? Keeping them in a certain area and not allowing them to eat? I added 2 med/lrg angels to my 135 with 2 others (sim size) and they just bullied them to death. That's all I can think of with the info provided.
