  • Angel is NOT EATING HELPP!

    I dont know what is wrong with one of my angels, all the others are eating fine, but this little guy is off on the side not eating. And he looks alittle pale (no color) It's a Silver Angel. And the red in his eyes disappeared...

    guessing it's the 72g in your sig?

    You notice any aggression from the others?
    What have you changed or done to the tank lately?
    How long have you had the fish in question?
    How long have you had the rest of the fish?
    Was it eating before?

      Yes, they are in the 72.
      ~ One of the Platinums is aggressive towards the neon tetras but all the angels get along.
      ~ 25% Water change Yesterday
      ~ had this Silver Angel for around 3-4 months and the others were all introduced at the same time as this one
      ~ I believe it was eating fine on Wednesday

            based on what you have shared to only logical thing that could have effected it is the water change.

              You can try to soak some of its food in Kent's garlic solution and spot feed it with a turkey baster or something similar. Tran at Fish Ranch has the garlic stuff but it can be somewhat difficult to find. Are you able to quarantine it? How's its breathing?

                Have you tried the coffee table method?
                I ate my fish that died.

                    What do you feed them ? does it seem like the others are out growing him? if so he is the bottom of the group.you can pull him out and try to get him eating again. don't put him back till he catchs back up. He could be strest from fighting for food and just eating of the bottom and that could have cuased a fungle inf.

                      What's the Coffee table method?

                      I feed them Omega One Veggie flakes, frozen Baby Brine Shrimp, And i tried to feed them NLS one time but i guess the small pellets were still to big for them.

                      Should I remove him from the Group and Have him in a care tank?

                        That's what I meant by asking if you could quarantine it.

                          +1 for Troy and Aquabee. Definately pull him out and Quareentine him. Could be bullied and not eating. Lots of variables involved.

                            Take him out and in to a care tank. try to feed him frozen brine shrimp and feed him as much as he will eat three times a day. remove any uneatin food.( No frozen bloodworms.) you angels should be close to 2" or a little bigger now. if this one has fallin behind it maybe to late but try and if it doesn't I will replace it.
