    Angelfish suddenly has lump behind belly

    So my tank perimeters are all good. I made a mistake tho, this is my female angel fish. This morning she’s just been swimming downwards. I have a plastic lid attached to the side of the tank right now for spawning & a breeding slate was supposed to be here yesterday so I’m hoping that helps...

    Angelfish suddenly has lump behind belly

    I really hope it isn’t an infection! I was thinking it could be an injury from mating ? They can b pretty aggressive & they normally lay eggs.. then eat them in a few days unfortunately . No eggs this time tho, just a large lump & he’s staying towards the top of water

    Super bloated Angel

    I’ve been mixing garlic enhancer from seachem with bloodworms or beefheart for food the last 2 days ? & I seen her pooping earlier which I haven’t seen in awhile so I’m taking that as a good sign. If it is a parasite , should I treat her with any meds ?

    Super bloated Angel

    I didn’t think about this before, but I do have another pair of angels in the tank. That female is super aggressive & I just noticed that pair nipping at the other male. Maybe they are preventing her from laying eggs? I am not sure I’ve only had single pairs of angels that lay eggs in the tank ...
