He is nipping his own fins correct? hes bored. Try adding some more plants or an air stone for him to "play" in.

Ok. It’s very heavily planted. The tank is only 5 gallons so I feel an air stone may be too powerful. Should I “play” with him more?
Dunno. The only thing I can think is hes bored.

Lol. Didn’t know fish could be bored. I was thinking of getting some feeder glass shrimp? He can chase them when he gets “bored”?Dunno. The only thing I can think is hes bored.
It's up to you, might get some dead shrimp tho

Yep. That’s why it would be a feeder shrimp not a neo or caridina. They are like 5 for $1.It's up to you, might get some dead shrimp tho
That's a better price than here. Here they're 30 cents each

Yea I’ve seen them at petco for that price. My Lfs has good prices on everything
That's good. My LFS is waaaayyyy more expensive than petco. I gave them my angel because I couldnt keep it and they sold him for over $40.... they sell all of their common Angel's for 30+ and a platy is like $5

HOLY MOLY! My lfs sells small angels for $3.99 and adults(if they have any) for $20. I too have an angel that I want to get rid of. How much did they give you for it?
Nothing! No store credit, nothing. I was so desperate to get rid of it because it started attacking my smaller fish that I just gave it to them. They said it would cost too much to care for blah blah blah no consignment no purchase blah blah..... two days later I went back to see if it was still there, gone and a new price tag "large angelfish: $49" made me mad they couldnt even give me 5 dollars for it. One fish dosent cost that much in care costs

DANG. I don’t know if you can but stop going there lol. Just sounds like they are in it for the money. I plan to get $5 for mine if they can sell it for $20
Oh yeah I don't go there anymore lol. Only went once or twice. It's a nasty little store with gross cages, way overcrowded cages with breeding rabbits, mice, rats, hamsters etc and rude owners. I actually just go to Petco, even tho it's a 20 minute drive rather than a 5 minute one. It's a chain pet store, so not the greatest but still way better
