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...

Yes, it's a strange setup - it's kinda temporary until i can get the big tank set up. Anyways, I will use the 30litre (10US gal ish) tank to QT and treat the fish. I think thats best, rather disturb everything else. Still no treatment! It HAS to arrive tomorrow. Meanwhile, fish is still just...

Ok that makes sense, although my main tank is actually bare bottom and pretty clean. The plants are in pots, but I get your point. The first round of treatment is finished, so either today or tomorrow I will start with the new esha (depending when I receive it). Changing the water every day...

3 angels 3 otos 3 zebra loach 1 YoYo Loach 2 upside down catfish 3 amano shrimp -so i would have to QT for esha. Fish's behaviour seems to be improving day by day. Shes swimming about with the other 2 angels more and more. Her eyes are still bulging a lot, however. :eek: I didnt receive the...

Thanks a lot jlk, appreciate your help with this fish. I have ordered some esha 2000, should get it tomorrow. As for the fish, still seems fairly stable. Seems dead keen for food when I drop it in, darts over to eat then kinda hesitates, taking very little in the end. Swimming about more...

Anyone have any ideas?

Give me a plan people! I've set up a QT tank. -10US Gal Biorb -Heater -Airstone filter -seeded bogwood + 1 plant Filled with 1/3 from main tank, 2/3 fresh water. All up and running, wating for me to transfer the fish (which i'll do once i have a plan). One question, Currently the fish is on...

Yes it is. Then what? I don't know what treatment to use other than what I'm already tying. I don't have access to all the antibiotic foods etc that you have in the US?

This is currently what the fish spends most of its time doing. Staying stationary in the water towards the back of the tank. Eyes bulging.

Hi, no it's not what you can see in the pic, it's a tiny spot on the other side of the fish. Not ich tiny, probably about the circumference of an uncooked grain of rice! Silly thing is I'm not sure when this appeared.

Ok so after 3 days I wouldnt say this fish is much better, although I wouldnt really say it's much worse. A couple of things i've noticed: -Both eyes seem to catch the light and reflect a redish colour on the black pupil part of the eye, I'd never seen this before, and none of the other angels...
