I have an angel fish who has been sitting on the ground, kind of bent sideways, the whole day. I have removed her into a separate place from all the others.
I've had her for 3 months now.
I noticed something was wrong when she wouldn't eat the flakes I feed them, but then realized that's her usual behavior because she mostly just eats bloodworms I give in the evening.

Also the other angel I have has been picking in her lately. Could she be I'll die to the aggression? Or is she sick?

She lives in a 30 gallon
With 6 other fish
The levels are as usual
0 ammonia and nitrite
About .2 nitrate.


Any advice is greatly appreciated
 
Update:

my angel fish died today:/

It was really strange.

Hopefully my other fish won't get the same stuff.
 
It could've been the other Angel being a bully, but it's hard to tell when they go with no visible symptoms.
 
Actually there has been a slight change. My heater raises the heat to literally 86 or up so lately I just been turning it on to raise temp by a few degrees and off when it gets to high.
 
My entire tank crashed because of a faulty heater. When the ice storm came through the temperature dropped and my heater went out causing everything in the tank to stress and die.
I would definitely invest in a new heater.
 
I live in the Central Valley Of California and the temperature from outside barely drops under 50 F outside. That being said it is fairly always warm here. I have 2 bettas tanks with no heater at the moment that always seems to be around the temp of 76-78F.
Do think the heater is still necessary?
 
I would still get one. A quality brand like the Jager trutemp. It would prevent fluctuations in your water temperature. It would keep it constant thus preventing your fish from going into shock from a fluctuation in water temperature.

Ok. I'll look on ebay for 3 of then for all my tanks. Thank you:)
 
I have an Eheim Jager in my 29g, and a Hydor 25w in my betta tank. Both work great. I like the Hydor for small tanks because 1) it was the only adjustable 25w heater I could find 2) it's small when compared to the other 50w adjustable heaters.

Just my 2 cents.
