Luis,

Angelfish - that's what an Angel is. I don't have tank specs, i.e.,
phosphates, nitrate, etc. I have a 25 gal with one female angelfish,
2 small swordtails.

As far as the Algae goes - if I let it go, it gets so bad I can't see
into the tank. That's only happened once. Not only does it look
disgusting in my dining room, but I can't see the fish I paid for.
THat's my problem with the algae - that and it can't be good for the
fish.

thanks,
Trai

Hello,

what is an angel? Why are you worried about alge? what kind of water do you
have, and fish? Nitrate and fosfate?

Regards,

Luis Alves

Good afternoon all -

I have a pair of angels, the female, poor thing - when I got home the
day before yesterday, she had no right fin, and the other was also
bitten down far. The male was being aggressive AS I watched.

I'm having a few problems, hopefully you all can help me.

1: I moved the male angel out to a larger tank with a couple of silver
dollars (comparable size, so they won't get picked on too much) and
some other peaceful fish. What can I do to help the female angel heal
and regrow her fins?

2: I have a HORRIBLE problem with algae in the tank. I scrape and
clean at LEAST every 10 days. I change water. I used the water
conditioner. When I moved the male, I looked very closely at the
algae and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...some kind of parasite was on the
glass. A minute, slim, somewhat long thing. WHen I say long, I mean
in terms of its width. It looked and moved like (for a visual
reference) brine shrimp hatchlings. Except I only saw them on the
glass. I didn't see any on the fish, but she's silver and black and
the male is blush. They were everywhere. I used something in her
tank, but I have a problem now - I may have infected my main tank and
I have loaches in there.

Any ideas as to what the parasite is? I used a medicine for fish lice
and some other parasites, and that knocked them down a peg. I still
saw some this morning though

ANy help is appreciated,

Trai
