I JUST bought an angel fish day before yesterday. When I bought her she was just received and put in the holding tank at the fish store earlier that day. This morning I noticed the whole top of her fin was sliced off! This evening her lower fins were half gone and her tail is COMPLETELY missing! It's bone! >.< I think one of my fish is eating her.... My gourami I believe? he's always thought he owned the tank. maybe it's one fish too many.. plus shes smaller than him. I feel HORRIBLE! everytime I look there's more of my angel missing! No other fish has nipped fins.
Options:
1- I have a 10 gallon betta tank I was thinking about transfering her into temperarly.. but even if it's just for a short time and I put her back into my 60 i imagine shed get her fins nipped again because shed be the same size. plus my bettas are fighting off fin rot so id have to take out all the water and put them in something small for the time being. which id rather not do...
2- I have a 36 gallon tank i was trying to sell but at the moment there is a sick dying fish in there. which is taking forever to die. ): I thought maybe? But when I brought it up to my fiance I live with and he didnt seem like he really approved. money is tight and having a 3rd fish tank going is probably a little much.. But I really want my angel to live. plus i dont know if tranfering her again into another tank so soon would be so wise. would it ake things worse?
3- I thought about maybe a divider in the tank? if they make them that big. what do i do?
what would be best you think?
