Hi,
I have 3 approximately 6 month old angelfish of which one has developed small holes in its fins right at the base where they join with the body. The two holes on the bottom fin showed up 3 days ago 4/25, the one on the top sometime in the last 9 hours while I was working. The large splotch in the middle I'm not sure if it's related or not but it's growing larger. The fish is languid without much appetite but still eats a little thankfully. I have a picture at http://www.archeus.org/images/hurtfish.jpg My tank is a 45 gallon tall, canister filter with activated carbon (Ehiem). Ph 6.8 Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm I change about 5% of water twice a week, I changed about 15% of water last night as I moved water to a 10 gallon tank to prep it to put the injured fish in soon as the other angelfish are starting to pick at it. I feed them mainly flake food by tetra, but supplement it with some red wriggler worms I grow in a worm farm that's fed non-meat table scraps. Each angelfish has been eating about 2 worms per week, 1 per session and pretty small worms at that what they can eat in one bite. Also I put in a romaine lettuce leaf about 3 times a week which they eat up in a few hours. The only other occupants of this tank are 4 young 1 inch pictus catfish. Maybe related but don't know, right now I have serious green tank syndrome but haven't taken any chemical steps (just scrub tank glass with cloth to clean) to attempt to correct it because I noticed this disease. I'd appreciate it if anybody has an idea on what disease is afflicting that angelfish and steps to correct it. |
