Thanks for the responses. I'm keeping a close eye, I also have an acrylic divider I made just incase I need to intervene. There are plants in the tank which provide some cover, so the smaller angel does get a break. Hopefully this will pass, but I'm not keeping my hopes up! Thanks again.

Hi, I recently had one of my three angelfish die, since then it seems the balance had been upset, one of the remaining two is bullying the other one. They were all ok before, the usual chasing every now and then, which was to be expected. Had the fish for over a year, they are a reasonable...

Thanks everyone. Yeah it is frustrating. I wasn't expecting that, really didn't appear to be deteriorating!

Just got home from work to find the fish dead. I honestly thought it was on the mend. Determined as I was. I don't have much luck treating fish. Thanks so much for all the help, I think I learnt a lot at least! Dave.

Great, thanks. Epsom salt I take it? Not aquarium salt

Ok so that's the third dose of treatment and 50% water change complete. Still no appetite, will try brine shrimp tomorrow. I would say that the fishes eyes look like they may have improved. Only slightly, but i noticed that the white ring where the eye meets the head has gone now on both...

Ok, thanks for explaining that! I was trying to think of what it could be that causes stress but that makes perfect sense. I should have realised! Since I don't have a spare heater or air pump yet, I aged the water in a bucket since yesterday, then heated it up with the heater from my main tank...

Just to update, the current symptoms are: - bulging eyes -constant mouth + gill movement -eating, but not much

Ok, can you explain why the water needs to be aged? Normal water changes are done with water straight from the tap- it's what the fish is used to. I am obviously adding water conditioner and matching the temp in the tank before adding. I don't have a spare heater but if its that important I...

Ok so I've done the first 50% water change and re-dose. I don't have a third air pump and heater to be able to age the water, so had to go with standard method (straight from the tap). I can't tell if the fish is much better yet, but it's certainly no worse. The main symptom of illness is it's...

Right, today I setup the qt tank with 50/50 fresh and main tank water. The qt tank holds 30litres, so the dose of esha 2000 works out at 8 drops. I added the drops and transferred the fish. The instructions suggest a dose of 4 more drops on days 2 and 3 (with no water change), but we are...

So in other words ignore the instructions on the packet!? Im completely fine with that if thats what will work! I do feel it's necessary to do daily water changes, just makes sense. Thanks.

I do too, i normally do 50% at least once a week. I did 50% Tues, 20% Wed, 20% today. I thought this would be a good idea since finishing the last treatment. Couple of questions. -Will driftwood decrease the effectiveness of the treatment if i have some in the QT tank? My main tank is...
