Angel Fish Uncordinated Looks Like He Is Proboly Going To Die

[snowboarder99886]

My angel fish I just got can't stay upright he keeps flipping over and cant swim right. I got him yesterday and stayed toward the top of the tank. I put him in a breeders net so he wont swim into the filters anymore. Anyone have any suggestions. I have a warrenty for him so I can get a new one for free would just like to keep this one alive if I can.

I have two other angels in the tank and a pleco and all the fish are leaving him alone. The two goldens stay toward the bottom and middle of the tank.

At this point I'm going to assume the fish has died.

How long did you acclimate him for? Sounds like it could very well be pH shock.

How long has your tank been set up, what are the water stats, specifically ammonia, nitrIte and nitrAte? If you have only just bought him, then its either ph shock as you didnt acclimatise for long enough or correctly or you have bad water quality or its the stress from the move.

He died. The water quality if perfect I tested it before I put him in. The tank has been set up for 4 to 6 years and never had problems with fish dieing. I proboly didn't leave acclimate him enough. Hopefully the next one lives. This is the first angel that died on me most of my angels are super hardy.

R.I.P.
Always test bag water for ph and temp this way you know how long to climatise a fish for.
