Hi I have question for the Angel expert or the person with medication knowledge.
Here is the situation, I got 3 gold Angels in January. At that time 2 were about quarter size and one was bigger and about half dollar size. Since then, one become about the size of tennis ball but the other 2 haven't grow much and they are about half dollar size. And one day last month, I found one of the small one dead. I never know what happened since this happened overnight and I have been keeping them in the same tank for few month. And I don't think I ever see the 2 so called pair up. But I have a little suspicion about 1 may got eliminated.
Since they seems getting along dispite their size difference. I see the bigger one try to peck at the small one now and then. Especially after the water change but I read the Angel tend to do to re-establish the territory. And I never see any serious threat or any bodily injury. On the same token, I would dare add another bigger Angel to see if I can get a pair. So I seem to stuck with this odd sized Angels.
They are in the 20H with 2 small bristlenose and I do 50% water change weekly if not more. I see them both eat. Of course, bigger one is the first one to eat and more but small one does eat his/her share. But it just doesn't seem to grow much.
And friend of mine suggest that the small Angel doesn't grow may have some worms or parasite in the system.
And if so, what is the good course of action to take. I know there is medicated dry food out there. And wondering if that is worth buying and feed them. Or any paticular medication I should try. (I live in U.S, BTW.)
Thanks for your help in advance.
