Aquarium Advice Addict
I need some advice! I brought my new angel home Wed. and he seems terrified of everything. He is larger than I expected, and my guess is that he's never been alone. His tankmates are 5 neons and 4 cories. He seems a little freaked out by them, and he won't eat. He mostly just hovers in one area.
I have noticed that at night after I turn off the tank light he explores a little, but I still haven't seen him attempt to eat. I've offered frozen shrimp, pellets, and two different types of flakes. Btw, I don't keep the tank light on him much, just a lamp beside the tank. He hides when the light is on.
He looks healthy except a little wear and tear on the tips of his fins..lfs owner said it was from shipping. She got him and one other angel in Wednesday, and the other one is eating, but he's in a tank with her other larger fish that are for sale.
This morning I noticed a little something on the tips of his fin, and I'm not sure if it's new growth or cotton fungus forming. I've done a pwc, and today I dosed salt...less than recommended amount bc of corys.
Question: What else can I do to help him? I know that all the stress is wreaking havoc on his immune system and making him vulnerable. Pwc's are just adding to the stress. I'm sorry for the long post...just trying to offer as much info as possible. Params are great, Amm-0, trite-0, trate-5. Please help
