I had a female GBR die from this symptom, she also had clamped fins , and had no control of swimming, stayed up to the surface more, it was my first experience with , Popeye Exophthalmia is what what I read on that internal disease, but no other fish were infected???

That was awhile back Caleb, my tank had a number of issues at that time. I had to medicate for cotton mouth on my harlequins, but yes my water parameters were off, and water changes were at a constant.Believe popeye is typically due to water quality...?
Which I have faith Sini here is diligent with his water quality so many the angel already had it when he got it?
Clamped fins in your case Clem is also a big red flag for water quality problem.

Yup. The frustrating thing is that she's also stopped growing. The male is sizing up nicely while the female has stopped growing, so even if she recovers I don't know what the long-term effects will be....
She's acting ok, not great, but she does seem to be getting worse in terms of behavior, she's getting less active. Ugh....
Shouldn't be a water quality issue. Nitrate has never gone past 20 in that tank, it's full of plants and I do 50+% water changes every week. And of course it didn't already have it because Poppa has good water quality too. I think it was just random bad luck. Diseases just happen sometimes.
Sorry to hijack, buddy.
