I have 6 Angelfish in 3 different sizes. 2 Half Black Blushing Veil tail the size if a nickle, doing great. 2 Gold veil Tail, a little bigger than a silver dollar, also doing great. And 2 Koi Angels, 1 Veil tail & 1 not, that are almost 3" tall. The 1 non Veil Tail Koi Angel is acting strange,
but only occasionally.
He's eating well and getting along well with the others. But every time I do a PWC he spends the next 24-36 hours swimming with his nose pointing down at the gravel. He turns right side up for feeding time, eats like he's never been feed. Then he goes right back over again when he's finished eating.
There are no other signs or symptoms of anything, just upside down after every PWC, which I do twice a week. My water parameters are steady at Ammonia 0ppm, NitrItes 0ppm, NitrAtes 10ppm, pH 7.2. All I've ever used is Prime & tap water during PWC. I feed a combination of NLS Cichlid for the big guys & NSL Grow for the smaller ones. I'm sure they all get some of both but that shouldn't hurt them.
For now they are in a 55g tank, while I search CL for a 90g tank.
I thought it may be a swim bladder problem
, so I researched it, a lot. But other than swimming strange after a PWC, he doesn't match any signs or symptoms of Swim Bladder disease or damage.
Should I be worried or is that just his way of showing me he doesn't like his home being messed with? It's been going on for about 2 months now. I've been searching the Internet for answers but I got nothing
.
Does anyone have any idea what he's doing and why he's doing it? Because I'm at a complete loss as to what he's doing and I would hate for the other Angels to get sick. But I don't think he's contagious, or the others would be acting the same way by now, wouldn't they?
