Flame angel possibility sick
Hello I bought a flame angel last week and everything seemed to be going fine. He was eating off my rocks and also eating the frozen shrimp I was putting in. Today i notice he was eating off the rocks a bit but didn't eat any shrimp. Later on in the day he was swimming towards the top and just hanging out by the heater. I was looking for white spots or anything snd he looks fine. Any idea what can be wrong? Click image for larger version Name: Image1490928525.573026.jpg Views: 75 Size: 182.0 KB ID: 297127

Can you tell us more about the system, inhabitants, and current parameters?

What causes this if anyone knows? I have the similar problem but with my freshwater angels I can create another thread for mine, figured I give it a shot in the dark since it's still an "angelfish"

It's a 65 gallon with about 50-60 pounds of live rock. I don't remember my levels exactly but I know they were good besides for my ph being a bit low. It was around 7.5. The tank has been up for almost a year. I have 2 clowns a yeallow eye kole and a 6 line in the tank

Completely different genus' of fish. Fw and sw angelfish are not related at all. I'd make a post in fw for your angel
